Answer: Carbon 12 and Carbon 13

In plant, the ratio of carbon 12 and carbon 13 isotopes is different depending upon the plant photosynthesis. The distribution of these isotopes in plant tissue can indicate the path way of carbon metabolism that is either C3 fixation or C4 fixation. This help scientist to know if the plant consumed by organism is C3 plant or C4 plant by measuring the isotopic signature of their collagen and other tissues.

This can help scientist know which plant is consumed by animals.

<h2>Type of Plant an Organisam Consumed - Option A</h2>

Carbon 13 and Carbon 12 can scientists use to determine the type of plant an organism consumed. Carbon 12 and 13 are isotopes of carbon. In the plant, the ratio of carbon 12 and carbon 13 isotopes is not same it just depends upon the plant photosynthesis.

The division of these isotopes in plant tissue can show the pathway of carbon metabolism that can be C3 fixation or C4 fixation. From this, the scientist can determine which animal consumed plant is C3 plant or C4 plant by estimating the isotopes of their collagen and other tissues.

Explain why changes in climate can result in the extinction of a species.
klasskru [66]
The changes in environment can cause the raising of the sea level, which can push animals further inward, which in turn destroy habit, as they began to get clumped together vegetation begins to go away, thus resulting in less species, also hotter climate makes sure that animals with very heavy coats of fur, die out pretty quickly if not cooled (over heating)<span />

In order to improve fat digestion, large fat globules must first be dispersed into smaller droplets in a process called ________
Ludmilka [50]

In order to improve fat digestion, large fat globules must first be dispersed into smaller droplets in a process called <u>emulsification.</u>

<h3 /><h3>What is emulsification in the digestive system?</h3>

Fat emulsification is the process of increasing the surface area of fats in the small intestine by grouping them into small clusters. Large lipid globules are split up into a number of smaller lipid globules. In the chyme, these tiny globules are widely dispersed rather than aggregating into larger groups. Hydrophobic compounds include lipids. Bile salts, are present in bile and have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic sides.

Due to the fact that lipases can only effectively act on lipids when they are broken down into small aggregates, emulsification is crucial for the digestion of lipids. The lipids are converted into fatty acids and glycerides by lipases.

The active site of an enzyme is damaged, leaving it nonfunctional.
hammer [34]

If the active site of an enzyme is damaged, leaving it nonfunctional, the reaction proceeds as if it were a non-catalyzed reaction without a lowering of the activation energy.

<h3>What is the active site of an enzyme?</h3>

An active site of an enzyme is the site in an enzyme which the substrate molecules binds to in order for the enzyme to perform its function.

The effective binding of substrate to active site of an enzyme enables catalysis to occur.

Thus, when the active site of an enzyme is damaged, the enzyme becomes non-functional.

Based on the graph, the reaction proceeds as if it were a non-catalyzed reaction without a lowering of the activation energy as seen in the purple colored graph.

In conclusion, effective bonding of substrate to enzyme active site is essential for catalysis to occur.
