Large changes in temperature and acidity interfere with enzyme activity by _

Biology
1 answer:
ankoles [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Denaturing

Explanation: Enzymes are made of amino acids that are linked by bonds, amongst those bonds are hydrogen bonds that are very weak. High temperatures and low pH(acidity) breaks those bonds changing the molecular conformation of the enzymes. That way they denature and loss the ability to perform their functions. High temperatures and acidity alter the structure of their active site preventing the substrate from binding to them. While high temperatures denatures enzymes, low temperature renders them inactive.

_______ research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson's disea
nydimaria [60]

<u>Stem cell </u>research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson’s disease with considerable progress made in creating dopamine-progressing cells.

Explanation:

Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disease, leads to reduction of dopamine (a neurochemical messenger which carries messages involving thinking and body movements to brain) in the body because the disease will target and kill dopamine-producing nerve cells (neurons). This leads to loss of movement and thinking abilities which are activated by dopamine.

Stem cells research is done to study about the prospects of stem cells in stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s patients as a viable source of new dopamine nerve cells. Research has been involved in growing stem cells to replace or regenerate dopamine-producing nerve cells by using embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells as a treatment modality in Parkinson’s disease.

Which best describes the role of a primary consumer in a food web?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Herbivore that feeds on producers

Explanation:

The producers are plants at the bottom of the food web. These are eaten by herbivores, that are the primary consumers.

Herbivores themselves are consumed by carnivores, which are secondary consumers.

Sometimes, these carnivores can be consumed by top predators, like a shark, snake or eagle.

<u>Options and why they are right/wrong</u>

Carnivore that feeds on producers  - carnivores do not feed on producers

Herbivore that feeds on producers  - this is correct

Herbivore that feeds on primary consumers  - primary consumers are animals and herbivores do not eat animals

Carnivore that feeds on primary consumers - this would be a secondary consumer
