What's the most reliable indicator you should use when determining if you should modify activity for heat?
sp2606 [1]

Heath index chart is the best indicator you should use when determining if you should modify activity for heat. The "heat index" is a single value that looks for both temperature and humidity. The higher the heat index, the weather will feel the hotter since sweat does not immediately evaporate and cool the skin. The heat index used is much better than air temperature alone for estimating the risk to workers from environmental heat sources.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Lysosomes.

HEXA (Hexosaminidase A) is the functional enzyme and encoded by the HEXA gene. The main function of this enzyme is the hydroxylation of the gangliosides.

The mutation in this gene leads to the lysosomal storage disease. The GM2 starts accumulating in the lysosomes and causes Tay Sach's disease. This is a genetic disorder that leads to the breakdown of the cells of the spinal cord and the brain.

Thus, the answer is lysosomes.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Metabolism refers to all the chemical reactions in the body, including those that use oxygen and create carbon dioxide.
