Answer:

hypothalamus

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a very vital part of the brain, which is situated at the base of the brain, and it is connected to the pituitary gland by nervous and chemical pathways. The hypothalamus is responsible for the stimulation of the release of several hormones of the body as well as regulates the activities most autonomic nervous system. Functions such as circadian rhythms, body temperature, behavior, release of hormones, homeostasis are controlled by the hypothalamus.

Area measuring 5 m² contains 50 earthworms what is the population density of the earth worms
Darina [25.2K]

The density of a population of living organisms is usually measured in individuals on one square km. In here we have 50 earthworms on an area of 5 square meters, thus we have 10 earthworms on every square meter. In order to get to the result we need to see first how many square meters there are in one square km. One square km has one thousand meters of length and one thousand meters of width so:

1,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000 km²

Since we established that we have 10 earthworms on every one square meter, we just need to multiply the number of square meters with the amount of earthworms on every square meter:

1,000,000 x 10 = 10,000,000

So we have a density of 10 million earthworms per square km.

An enzyme was isolated from digestive juices taken from the small intestine. an experiment was set up to test the ability of the
Sergio039 [100]
1. Our results showed that test tube B contained end products of protein digestion, meaning that the isolated enzyme has the ability to break down protein. The end products of protein digestion include small polypeptides, dipeptides, and amino acids. In general, test tube B will contain the building blocks of proteins, which are the amino acids.

2. The two test tubes were placed in a hot water bath at 37oC. This is because the enzyme studied is a human enzyme and it works best at the human body temperature, which is approximately 37oC.
Enzymes are biological catalysts, which means that they accelerate chemical reactions. As a result, an enzyme's activity is greatly affected by temperature. Every enzyme, depending on each function and origin, has a specific range of ideal temperature conditions. If the temperature rises above the maximum accepted, then the enzyme denatures and loses its structure.

3. If the enzyme studied was added in a tube containing starch instead of proteins, then nothing would happen. This is because the enzymes are highly specialized and have very specific actions. It has been proved that this enzyme's activity involves the digestion of proteins.
Starch is a polysaccharide produced by plants, this means that starch is a carbohydrate. Given that starch is not a protein, it will not be digested by the enzyme. An enzyme digesting proteins, will not have any effect on carbohydrates.

4. The smaller molecules which are the result of the digestion happening in the digestive system are absorbed by the human body. More specifically, the products of protein digestion are absorbed by the intestine and then transported into the bloodstream. From the blood, they are then absorbed by other tissues.
After they are absorbed, they are used to build muscles or other compounds which can produce energy.

20. Why are scientific theories changed but never thrown away?
Elis [28]

Scientific Theory change but not thrown away because scientist continue looking for possibilities and exact proportion to prove such theory, though it is change because they always conducted hypnosis in every theory and once it proves something different they conduct another hypothesis for more actual evidence.

What organisms save water by turning carbon dioxide into a special carbon compound before carrying out photosynthesis?
larisa [96]

The correct answer is C4 plants.  

A plant that cycles carbon dioxide into four-carbon sugar components to get into the Calvin cycle is known as a C4 plant. These plants are very effective in dry, hot climates and produce ample energy. Various foods one consumes are C4 plants like pineapple, corn, and sugar cane.

In the C4 plants, at the start carbon fixation occurs in the mesophyll cells and the Calvin cycle occurs in the bundle-sheath cells. The PEP carboxylase combines with an incoming molecule of carbon dioxide to the three carbon-molecule PEP, generating a four carbon molecule, that is, oxaloacetate.
