The answer is A, denature.

As each type of enzymes has its own optimum temperature, like the temperature that they work fastest at, so if the temperature goes too high above the optimum, the 3D structure of the enzyme breaks apart and deforms and they can no longer bind with substrates thus no longer works. In this scenario, we say the enzyme is denatured.

Note that only if the temperature is too high can make the enzyme denature, if the temperature is too low, instead, the enzyme would be inactive, but once the temperature goes back to normal, they work again. Unlike denatured enzymes, which does not work even if the temperature goes back to normal.

Explain why a microscope capable of high magnification and high resolution would be needed to diagnose malaria

Scilla [17]

Using the thick blood film to detect malaria enables observation od parasite morphology and it is used to quantify and identify parasites to the species level. For that kind of detection a high-power microscope (400 times to 1,000 times magnification) is required. The microscopist can look for parasites in a relatively large volume of blood, thus increasing the sensitivity of the test.

Describe the three types of white matter fibers.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The white matter fibers are the main component of the brain. Three different types of white matter fiber are :

Commissural fibers:

This fiber is important for the connection of the corresponding left hemisphere and right hemisphere of the brain.

Projection fibers:

These fibers helps in the connection of the brain stem and the spinal cord with the cerebral cortex.

Association fibers:
