The picture shows a scientist collecting data from an ice core: What kind of data can be collected from ice cores to learn about

Ilya [14]

Ice core can tells various information regarding the atmosphere. It can reveal the temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions. Here in the image, the scientists can learn about the ocean surface temperature, i.e., option D.

Ice cores are ice-drilled cylinders made from ice sheets and glaciers.

They are capsules that are frozen and allow scientists to reconstruct climate far into the past.

It can be used to detect the ocean surface temperature.

Thus, the correct option is D.

Which term best describes an enzyme

TEA [102]

Solution :-

In biology the word bio catylysts describes the word enzymes . Bio catylysts are nothing but enzymes which alter the rate of reaction . For ex - Pepsinogen , which is produced in the stomach of humans activated by HCl from a proenzyme called trypsin . It works in acidic medium and converts proteins into peptides and protons . Likewise there is another enzyme called Salivary amylase which is present in the saliva of humans converts starch into maltose . There is another enzyme called lipase which converts fats into fatty acids and glycerol .
