B - Enzymes act as catalysts because they lower the activation energy
Answer:
Q1) True
Q2) Metabolism
Q3) Physiological response
Explanation:
Q1) Energy cannot be created (first law of thermodynamics). Life needs an energy source to transform. Without the energy from the sun or any other sources, life would cease to exist. (True)
Q2) An organism chemical reactions consist, in general, breaking down complex molecules (catabolism) releasing energy or to form complex structures from simpler molecules (anabolism) which require energy . The total of this reactions is called metabolism.
Q3) Hibernation is physiological state of inactivity and metabolic depression in some organisms, which result as a response to low temperatures and unavailability of food.
Explanation:
Prolactin is a protein hormone of the anterior pituitary gland that was originally named for its ability to promote lactation in response to the suckling stimulus of hungry young mammals.
Progesterone is a hormone released by the corpus luteum in the ovary. It plays important roles in the menstrual cycle and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy.
Answer:
It helps them survive
Explanation:
Mimicry is when animals have forms and coloration that makes them blend in with their environment, which helps them to escape from their predators or approach their prey undetected and thus mimicry helps organisms survive. An example is the stick insect. They look like real sticks in shape and color and even move in a way that resembles a stick movement by the wind. This way they may escape the sharp vision of many insectivorous birds.
Answer:
The options are
a.cooling of the power plant
b.mining of uranium
c.storage of radioactive waste
d.monitoring the reactor
The answer is b.mining of uranium
Explanation:
Uranium is known as a radioactive element which is used as a fuel to power a nuclear energy plant. Mining of uranium could cause it to mix with air and water which results in contamination.
When contamination occurs and it gets into the body of humans or animals by inhalation or ingestion it poses a high risk of cancer and kidney damage.
