What is the significance of enzymes in maintaining homeostasis in living organisms ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
GalinKa [24]3 years ago
7 0
 Enzymes are needed for metabolic pathways in the body, respiration, digestion and other important life processes. When enzymes function properly, homeostasis is maintained. However, if an enzyme is lacking or has an incorrect shape due to genetic mutation, this can lead to disease within an organism.

Hot, solid rock in the Earth's crust a. is cooler than surface lava because of the pressure of overlying rock. b. maintains unif
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

d. may melt if heat is transferred to it from hot mantle rock rising up into the crust.

Explanation:

Hot, solid rock in the Earth's crust is a solid outer region of the Earth, Underneath the Earth Structure lies the mantle which is composed of solid rocks especially granite and basalt. The mantle is very hot and may melt if heat is transferred to it from hot mantle rock rising up into the crust therefore forming a molten magma. It may even be hotter (and not cooler as it was stated in the option A which makes it the wrong answer) than the surface lava because of the pressure of the overlying rock. As such, This effect is seen when a volcanic eruption occurs.

Put the steps of the scientific method into the correct order.
riadik2000 [5.3K]
<span>The scientific method is a systematic way of questioning about the world around us and answering questions. The number of steps varies from one description to another, mainly when data and analysis are separated into separate step, but this is a fairly standard list of 6 scientific method steps, which you are expected to know for any science class:

1. Form a Hypothesis. This is a sort of educated guess about what you expect. 
2. Design an Experiment to test your hypothesis. An experiment has an independent and dependent variable. You change or control the independent variable and record the effect it has on the dependent variable.
3. Conduct Experiment
4. Record data and observations and analyze what the data means. Often, you'll prepare a table or graph of the data.
5. Form a Conclusion. Conclude whether to accept or reject your hypothesis. Communicate your results.</span>

Why do different isotopes of an element generally have the same physical and chemical properties?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is because they have same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element but differ only in the number of neutrons in the nucleus, i.e. they have same atomic number but different mass number.

Mass number is affected as they have different number of neutrons, thus effecting their physical properties.

The number of electrons and protons are same, i.e. their atomic number is same and thus their chemical properties are same as chemical properties are determined by the atom’s electronic configuration and that relates to number of protons.

In beta decay, what is emitted? A. an electron B. a helium-4 atom C. a neutron D. a photon E. a radionucleus
myrzilka [38]

Answer: A. an electron

<u>Beta particles are electrons or positrons (electrons with positive electric charge or antielectrons).</u> Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray is emitted from an atomic nucleus.

<u>Beta decay occurs when, in an unstable nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons transforms into the other.</u> In beta minus decay, a neutron is broken down into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino (the neutrino antiparticle, meaning it has an opposite charge to the neutrino). In beta decay plus, a prototype breaks down into a neutron, a positron and a neutrino.
