Answer:
A- A pH change can cause the enzyme to change its shape
Explanation:
A rise or fall in the pH of the medium from the optimum of pH 7 usually affect the enzymes' active sites of and therefore the shape and the rate of enzyme activity.
Assuming the pH is too low, the enzyme medium becomes acidic;Acidosis. The high Hydrogen ions concentration interacts with the R-groups of the amino acids moiety of the enzymes, this interaction affects the ionization of the R-groups, disrupting the ionic bonding holding these R-groups in shape.
This results in loss of the 3-Dimensional shape arrangements of the protein molecule and therefore of the active sites. Since active sites of enzymes determines the specificity of the <u>enzymes substrate- complex </u> to give <u>enzyme-product complex,</u> the catalytic activity of the enzymes decreases, <u>the rate of reaction decreases,and products formation stops, and the reaction also stops.</u>
The same is applicable to extremely high pH=Alkalosis.
However, the effective buffer system of the body prevents this scenarios from happening in real sense in the body. Through mopping by the haemoglobin, excretion by the kidney, etc
B. bacteria that convert ammonia into nitrites and nitrates are found in the soil
This statement best demonstrates a way that the geo-sphere is involved in the nitrogen cycle.
A nitrogen cycle is defined as the movement of nitrogen between the atmosphere, biosphere, and geo-sphere in different forms. Ammonia is converted to nitrates by nitrifying bacteria in the soil. Then the plants absorb these nitrates from the soil and use these to build up proteins.
Answer:
Explanation:
Aquifers are groundwater reservoirs often tapped by wells. Water: Water is pretty darn important for living things.
Answer:
A) They have low-maintenance and are easy to keep track of for mutations.
B) The deduction can be "Single Gene Mutation"
Explanation:
After examining the example given in the question on Neurospora crassa and the details about how they reproduce, the following points can be made regarding the questions;
A) It is stated that they form a colony in time and that they are asexual spores and the first reason to choose them would be because they contain somatic cells (which refer to the cells other than reproductive cells) and non-motile gonidia which can multiply by dividing themselves and these properties make the colony's maintenance easy. And since they multiply by division, it is easier to keep track of the occuring mutations.
B) Given the information in the question that the mating is between an albino strain and a wild type, and then between two albino strains which have the same genotype. The results indicate that the strains have gone through single gene mutation during the process.
I hope this answer helps.
