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

1 answer:

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.

What is an aquifer. e

snow_tiger [21]

“An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt). Groundwater can be extracted using a water well. The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology.”

If you have a graduated cylinder, containing 15.5 mL and this volume changes to 95.2 mL after a metal with a mass of 7.95g is dr

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer: The density of the object will be $9.97\times 10^{-2}$ g/ml.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

$Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}$

Given : Mass of object = 7.95 grams

Volume of water displaced = volume of the object = (95.2 - 15.5) ml =79.7 ml

Putting in the values we get:

$Density=\frac{7.95g}{79.7ml}=0.0997g/ml$

Thus density of the object will be $9.97\times 10^{-2}$ g/ml

Use the reaction, which produces ammonia, to answer the question.

zepelin [54]

This problem is providing us with the chemical equation depicting the production of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen at equilibrium and asks for the correct change when the concentration of nitrogen is increased. At the end, the answer is the forward reaction would increase to start reducing the concentration of N2.

<h3>Chemical equilibrium</h3>

In chemistry, chemical reactions not always reach a 100-% conversion when reactants get in contact in order to carry out the chemical reaction. Thus, there is a point wherein the concentrations remain the same and is called equilibrium.

In such a way, for this problem, we have the following chemical reaction at equilibrium:

$N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)$

Now, according to the Le Ch.atelier's principle, an increase in the concentration of any species, shifts the equilibrium away from it, which means that if we increase the concentration of nitrogen, a reactant, the forward reaction will be favored.

Thereby, the correct answer is "the forward reaction would increase to start reducing the concentration of N2".

Give the chemical symbol of an element in the third period (row) of the periodic table with four 3p electrons.

Ann [662]

<u>Answer: </u>The chemical symbol of the element is Sulfur.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The element which is present in third period of the periodic table having four 3p electrons is Sulfur. Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table which has 6 valance electrons.

The electronic configuration of this element is: $[Ne]3s^23p^4$

This element is considered as a non-metal because it will accept electrons in order to attain stable electronic configuration.

Hence, the chemical symbol of the element is Sulfur.

(b) Describe how Aluminium chloride can be separated from a mixture of aluminium chloride

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Since AlCl3 sublimes and NaCl does not sublime sublimation process will separate the two. Heat the mixture, aluminium chloride sublimes into vapour and forms the sublimate on the cooler parts of heating tube sodium chloride will remain at the bottom of the heating tube.
