All 3 farming techniques are methods of soil conservation. 

Contour plowing is used to stop water from flowing directly down slope to prevent gullying. 

Terracing is used to slow the amount of runoff, and prevents rapid soil erosion. 

Strip Cropping is when farmers plant plants in alternating bands to stop soil erosion.

Which one of the following statements is true of enzyme catalysts? A) Their catalytic activity is independent of pH. B) They are
muminat

Answer:

D) They can increase the reaction rate for a given reaction by a thousand-fold or more.

Explanation:

Enzymes are like catalysts with the only difference that they are bio-molecules. Biochemical/chemical reactions are slow because of 'transition state barriers' which require a lot of energy to overcome so enzymes rather than overcoming transition state barrier provide an alternate pathway for biochemical reactions which require comparatively less energy. Thus presence of an enzyme leads to an increase in reaction rate because alternate pathway which requires less energy makes the rate of chemical reaction rapid by a thousand-fold or more.

One form of chromatin modification is acetylation, which is known to occur on positively charged histone tail amino acids, thus
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

A. The tails do not interact with the DNA

Explanation:

The acetylation refers to the transfer of the acetyl group from Acetyl-CoA to the N-terminal of the histone protein.

Lysine residues (positively charged amino acid) are present at the end of the N-terminal of the histone protein which is neutralized by the acetyl group.

This loses the compaction between the positively charged histone and the negatively charged DNA and the DNA becomes more relaxed. This relaxed state allows the transcription factors to easily bind the DNA and therefore the DNA becomes transcriptionally active.

Thus, Option-A is correct
