Answer:

fills with blood during arousal and causes an erection.

Explanation:

The corpus spongiosum is a mass of tissue present in the under part of the penis (male sexual structure) that is actively responsible for erection of the penis. The corpus spongiosum, in conjunction with the corpus carvernosa works to maintain erection of the penis in males.

During sexual arousal, the corpus spongiosum, which surrounds the urethra (passage for urine and semen) helps keep the urethra open for semen to be released while the carvernosa becomes filled with blood. This constant flow of blood into the carvernosa makes the penis enlarge and assume an erect position.

How do enzymes act as catalysts? (Choose ALL that apply) They allow for fewer collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates) The
vazorg [7]

Answer:

- They allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates)

- They lower the amount of activation energy needed to complete the reaction.

- They speed up chemical reactions to form more products

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteinous molecules that serves as catalyst in living systems. Like every other catalyst, enzymes function to SPEED UP the rate of biochemical reactions by LOWERING/REDUCING the activation energy, which is the energy required for a reactant to form product (completion of reaction).

Enzymes like other catalysts causes faster movement of molecules in the reaction i.e. they allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates). This causes the rate of reaction to increase and hence, speeden the reaction.

Which marked location on the map above would you expect to have greatest biodiversity?
Sauron [17]

The answer would be D. Tropical Rainforest, this would be due to the abundance of rain which creates plenty of vegetation and then, more herbivores will live in the rainforest, and the more herbivores there are, the more carnivores will come to the rainforest. The canopy of the tall trees also provide shelter for countless of thousands of species of birds.

A biochemist isolates and purifies various molecules needed for DNA replication. When she adds these molecules to DNA, replicati
olga55 [171]

Answer:

DNA ligase

Explanation:

<em>The biochemist must have left out DNA ligase enzyme.</em>

<u>The DNA ligase enzyme is able to catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds and as such, capable of joining strands of DNA together to form a single strand.</u>

The numerous DNA segments of a few nucleotides long observed by the biochemist must have been the replicated product of the lagging DNA strand. The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in short strands because the DNA polymerase enzyme can only elongate primers in 5' to 3' direction. The short segments are known as Okazaki segments and are usually joined together to form a whole strand by the DNA ligase enzyme.

Hence, the missing component is the DNA ligase.

If water were a non polar molecule, how would its properties be different ?
igor_vitrenko [27]
The answer would be C.

Nonpolar molecules cannot form hydrogen bonds that polar molecules can. Interactions between nonpolar molecules are very weak thus D is wrong. And water can climb up inside plants and has adhesion and cohesion because of it’s strong hydrogen bonds.
