Each enzyme has a temperature at which it works best. A slight increase in temperature can increase enzyme activity while a larg

e increase in temperature can cause the enzyme to become denatured. Which of the following best explains what happens when a protein becomes denatured?
a. The enzyme absorbs heat until the temperature decreases, and the reaction then continues normally.
b. The enzyme loses its shape and is no longer able to catalyze chemical reactions.
c. The enzyme breaks apart into the amino acids that originally combined to form the enzyme.
d. The enzyme unfolds and refolds into a different shape, and is used to catalyze a different chemical reaction.

The correct option is B.
The shapes of enzymes are very important because their shapes determines the kind of chemical reactions that they can catalyse. This is because the substance been catalyzed must fit into the active sites of the enzyme that is been used. In a situation where an enzyme becomes denatured, such an enzymes losses its original shape and this remove from it the capacity to catalyze chemical reactions, thus, it becomes non functional.

Stem cells are important to multicellular organisms because of their
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

ability to differentiate into other cell types during cell division i.e. totipotent nature

Explanation:

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the unique ability to develop into specialized cell types in the body during early life and growth through the process of cellular differentiation. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function e.g muscle cell, red blood cell or a brain cell.

Stem cells provide new cells for the body as it grows, and replace specialized cells that are damaged or lost. This ability of stem cells to differentiate into a variety of cell types in an organism including embryonic tissue, is an important distinguishing factor. They have two unique properties that enable them do so:

1. They can divide over and over to produce new cells

2. As they divide, they can change into the other types of cell (cellular differentiation).

Eukaryotic cells contain DNA in the mitochondria and chloroplasts (in addition to the nucleus). Is the organization of DNA in th
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The DNA is more closer to bacteria.

Explanation:

Mitochondria and chloroplast are considered as semi-autonomous organelle because they contain their own genetic material. The mitochondria and chloroplast evolution can be explained by the endosymbiont theory.

The DNA of mitochondria and chloroplast are more closely related to bacterial chromosome rather than eukaryotic chromosome.  Both the organelle and bacterial DNA are double stranded and  their translation can be inhibited by the chloramphenicol. Some of their replicating enzymes also show similar characteristics.

Thus, the DNA is more closer to bacteria.

Which statements correctly describe herbivores and carnivores?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The First and Third one for sure

Explanation:

Carnivores eat primary consumers as well as other carnivores if I'm not wrong, which would make them secondary or higher consumers.

Also, herbivores eat producers, which are plants and stuff and basically organisms that make their own food, which would make them primary consumers.
