Considering the following;
I. Heat is not readily available to all living cells.
II. Heat at excessive amounts denatures proteins.
III. Heat does not provide the activation energy for their reactions.
IV. When a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function
Answer;
I and IV
Explanation;
Living cells cannot use heat to provide the activation energy for biochemical reactions because heat is not readily available to all living cells and also when a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function.
Too much heat can kill an organism by rendering its organelles, cells, tissues and organs permanently inoperable and un-salvageable. The same process can be observed in tissues at low temperatures, and is the cause of frostbite. This is because enzymes are denatured by high temperature and inactivated by low.
Answer:
1. Cell
2. cell theory
3. Organismal theory
4. resolving power
Explanation:
The cell is the smallest known unit of all living organisms. They are called the building blocks of life. An organism can be unicellular (made up of one cell) or multi-cellular (made up of many cells).
2. Cell theory was formulated and developed by Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow. They are considered as the basic principles of biology.
It states:
1. Living organisms are made up of cells.
2. Cells are the basic unit of life.
3. Cells are formed from pre-existing cells.
4. Energy flows inside the cell.
5. DNA is passed on from cell to cell.
6. All cells have the same basic chemical composition.
3. Organismal theory is the intended counter-argument of the cell theory. It was developed by Reichert, Strasberger, Sherrington, and Pavlov. It argues that the basic unit of life is the organism itself, suggesting that an organism came about from a cell that expanded.
4. Resolving power is the ability of an optical instrument like a microscope or a telescope to view objects that are close together as separate, abling the viewer to distinguish the two from each other.
Answer:
Autorhythmicity of the heart
Explanation:
It is the study of the characteristics features of the cardiac muscle cells with the ability to initiate action potential at certain level without connection to any external stimulus which the heart beats constantly and rhythmically. Cardiac muscle cells controls the rate of contraction of heartbeats.
