Smoking during pregnancy affects your and your baby's health before, during, and after your baby is born. The nicotine (the addictive substance in cigarettes), carbon monoxide, lead, arsenic, and numerous other poisons you inhale from a cigarette are carried through your bloodstream and go directly to your baby. Smoking while pregnant will:
<span>Lower the amount of oxygen available to you and your growing babyIncrease your baby's heart rate<span>Increase the chances of miscarriage and stillbirth</span>Increase the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weightIncrease your baby's risk of developing respiratory problems</span>
The more cigarettes you smoke per day, the greater your baby's chances of developing these and other health problems. There is no "safe" level of smoking for your baby's health.
What your cells have to help overcome a problem of high activation energy are called enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that lower the activation energy of a reaction. In doing this, enzymes increase the rate of a reaction, helping it to occur faster. However, enzymes are not consumed in a reaction; they simply help it to occur.
Enzymes make things easier for your cells to work properly and help chemical reactions occur. There are hundreds of different kinds of enzymes in your cells, which all participate in different types of reactions. Enzymes can break molecules apart, build or add molecules, and even rearrange them.
In lowering the activation energy of a reaction, enzymes decrease the barrier to starting a reaction. It's important to note, however, that the change in energy remains the same between the start and end of a chemical reaction.
True
Good luck on your questions! :D
<h2>Koch's Postulates.</h2>
Explanation:
The next step should be isolate the microorganism from the mice and check if it is identical to the original microbe.
According to Koch's postulates, a microbe can be considered as a causative agent of a disease only after all the following are established:
- The microorganism should be present in all the organism suffering from the disease.
- The isolated microorganism should be grown in pure culture.
- The organism grown in the culture should be reintroduced in the susceptible but healthy host.
- Finally the microorganism must be re-isolated from the experimental host an cultured to see whether it is identical to the original specific microorganism.
To be able to compare the results to a sample without any of the independent variable added.
