<span>Amylase needs an optimum pH for its activity. It is in the range of 6-7. Below or above pH will denature this enzyme. The pH level is optimum for this enzyme in the mouth and hence it catalyses the break down of sugar. The pH level of stomach is lower than its optimum level duet to the activity of gastric acid. Hence the enzyme becomes inactive in the stomach.</span>

Answer:

Here are the answers:

a. 4  Cell determination as an issue in the *rest is missing*

b. 4  They assumed that different ways of separating an embryo into two parts would be equivalent as far as the fate of the two parts was concerned.

c. 4  I and III only

Explanation:

The passage demonstrates the importance of two factors in the development of an embryo: cleavage planes of division of embryonic cells and cell differentiation.

Cleavage Planes:

Cleavage basically refers to the division of the zygote into a large number of cells called blastomeres. Cleavage planes are geometrical lines or orientations along which cleavage takes place. Since, all embryonic cells are the precursors of some type of body cells, the cleavage planes determine if the cells are adequate for growth and development.

Cell Differentiation:

Cell differentiation is the transition of an undifferentiated cell into a specialized one. For example, stem cells are undifferentiated cells that develop into progenitor cells that mature into a specific cell lineage. For an embryo to regenerate, the presence of adequate embryonic stem cells is crucial. Embryonic stem cells are present in abundance before the gastrulation phase of embryonic development, after which they rapidly start differentiating.

Discuss some of the possible side effects that occur when the pyramid becomes blocked.
faltersainse [42]

The imbalance in energy would cause warming up of the planet and variety in fauna would be limited.

Explanation:

in an energy pyramid large amount of the energy gets dissipated only 10% of the energy is transferred to other level. Trophic level tells the placement of organism in a energy pyramid.

If at any time the pyramid gets blocked:

The passing of biomass and energy gets break to each level.

The organism at the higher level will be scarce of resources as nutrition and energy for growth, multiplication and metabolism.

The organisms at the higher level will get die eventually and vanish from the earth as no reproduction.

The energy dissipated will be in large amount disturbing the ecological chain.

The imbalance in energy would cause warming up of the planet and variety in fauna would be limited.
