Answer:

Whole brain death occurs when the BRAINSTEM ceases to function.

Explanation:

In the US, whole brain death = legal death. Most people consider that a person is brain dead when the cerebrum, or the higher brain, is dead because the person is not able to think or have control over his/her body, but legally you are brain dead only when the brainstem ceases to function. The brainstem is responsible for keeping you alive and performing the most basic bodily functions like breathing and keeping your heart beating. But once it fails, you are legally dead. Even if your body could still survive using a ventilator and other devices, your brain has ceased to work and you wouldn't be able to survive if you were unplugged.

A change in temperature affects an enzyme by causing the enzyme to change it's shape.

<h3>what is an enzyme?</h3>

An enzyme is a substance that catalyzes chemical reactions.

Temperature is one of the major factors that aid enzymes action.

Increase in temperature could increase the rate of enzyme.

However, at a very high temperatures, the enzyme can be denatured thereby changing it shape or structure and the enzyme may no longer bind to the substrate or function effectively this will then reduce the rate of chemical reaction.

Therefore, a change in temperature i.e very high temperature can change the shape of an enzyme.

Goshia [24]

After fertilization of the ovule, the megaspore develops into the food supply of the mature seed.
After fertilization of the ovule, the integument develops into the seed coat.
After fertilization of the ovule, the fertilized egg develops into the embryo of the mature seed.

The ovule contains the female reproductive cells of the seed plants and when fertilized, it produces the seed. Ovules contain megasporocytes, cells that produce megaspores through cell division. An integument is a layer that protects and surrounds the ovule. After fertilization, the integument protects and surrounds the seed. After fertilization, the ovule contains a diploid zygote which develops into an embryo.
