Answer:

A. Enzymes lower the activation energy of reactions

Explanation:

Enzymes are biochemical catalyst produced in the body that alter the rate of digestion of food substance.

Like other chemical catalyst, enzymes reduce the activation energy (which is the energy the reactants must attain before being converted to products) in a chemical reaction.

As such, Enzymes lower the activation energy of reactions

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

13

Explanation:

We will divide the total number of the teachers (246) in the auditorium with the maximum number of seats per row (18) to determine how many rows are completely filled;

246/ 18  = 13.6667

We are only interested in rows that are completely filled which is the whole number;

= 13

An inhibitory stimulus has occurred. B. Chemically gated potassium channels have opened. C. Excessive potassium has diffused out
andrezito [222]

Given question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

C. Excessive potassium has diffused out causing hyperpolarization.

Explanation:

The nerve action potential can be divided into following stages:

  • Stimulus is detected by the cell in resting stage.
  • Sodium channels in the membrane open from where influx of sodium ions occur which is called depolarization
  • After a while, sodium channels close and potassium channels open from where efflux of potassium ions occur which is called repolarization.
  • The membrane potential further lowers due to continous efflux of potassium ions which is called hyperpolarization.
  • After a while potassium channels close and membrane returns to its resting stage.

In the given figure, stage 4 depicts hyperpolarization because the membrane potential has dropped to the lowest point below -70mV. Hence, option C is correct.

We used the enzyme, taq polymerase, which is derived from the thermus aquaticus bacterium, in our pcr procedure. Why is this enz
wel

The enzyme Taq polymerase is required in the PCR process because it is the main enzyme that synthesizes the new DNA strands complementary to the template strand and without the activity of this enzyme the PCR will be useless and it cannot make the copy of the given strand in any way. Thus, this enzyme is very much necessary for the efficient working of the PCR.

Polymerase Chain Reaction is a very efficient technique that can able to detect and copy even a small amount of DNA by performing a set of reactions at different temperatures.

The PCR process begins with the denaturing of the template strand at 95°C, followed by annealing in which the appropriate primers bind to the single strands of DNA at 50-56°C, followed by extension at 72°C in which the thermostable Taq polymerase synthesizes the strand complementary to the template DNA.
