Enzymes can be denatured unfolded by heat or chemicals.
<h3>What are enzymes?</h3>
Enzymes are proteins that are found in living organisms which are able to increase the rate of chemical reaction and remains unchanged at the end of the reaction.
The factors that can denature enzymes include heat and chemicals. This is because:
- Higher temperatures disrupt the shape of the active site, which will reduce its activity, or prevent it from working. When the enzyme loses its shape, it is said to have been denatured.
- These environmental factors can alter the pH level of the enzyme.
Therefore, for an enzyme to perform its functions, the external factors that affects it's activities must be normal and favorable.

Answer:
I would expect to see a greater variety of traits observed. Simplistically, I would expect to see people with blue eyes and brown hair, blonde hair or red hair. Whereas in a population where chromosomes do not cross over, I would expect to see traits that are more frequently associated with each other. For example, I would expect to see a greater proportion of blue eyed people to be blonde because the gene for hair colour is more frequently associated with the gene for eye colour.

Answer:
The correct answers are option A. "tethering proteins to the cell cortex", B. "using barriers such as tight junctions", C. "tethering proteins to the extracellular matrix", D. "forming a covalent linkage with membrane lipids", E. "tethering proteins to the surface of another cell"
Explanation:
According to the fluid-mosaic model, the components of cell membranes are in constant movement forming a barrier to avoid unwanted exterior component internalization and to avoid the loss of precious internal components. This constant movement could cause that proteins move across the plasma membrane. But, this is avoided by several mechanisms including:
A. Tethering proteins to the cell cortex. The cell cortex is a rigid structure made of actin and actomyosin. Proteins found in the plasma membrane are tethered to this structure to restrict their movement.
B. Using barriers such as tight junctions. Tight junctions are barriers found in epithelia made of claudin and occludin proteins. These barriers are impenetrable, which avoid the movement of proteins in the cell membrane.
C. Tethering proteins to the extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is made of several proteins and macromolecules that provide a structural and biochemical support to cells that are nearby. Proteins could be tethered to this rigid structure as well.
D. Forming a covalent linkage with membrane lipids. The proteins in the cell membrane that form a covalent linkage with membrane lipids are known as lipid-anchored proteins, or lipid-linked proteins.
E. Tethering proteins to the surface of another cell. When cell-cell communication take place it is possible that proteins in the cell membrane got tethered to the surface of the other cell.
Local wind patterns and global wind patterns are main causes for cyclonic storms.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Tornadoes are formed over the land, while hurricanes are formed on the water. Hurricanes are formed as of a storm in a tropical area or warm area, on the other hand hurricanes are formed due to different situations in various places. When large masses of air of different temperature and densities meet together, cyclone storms are caused. As the lower density air mass rises and the cooler descents, what is formed is called a weather front, and the coriolis effect makes the front to start spinning and form a funnel. The biggest fuel system is water vapor from the oceans in a tropical storm. The water releases heat and surrounds the air as the water vapor rises and condenses, causing a low pressure, hence the cooler air masses moves to the region with low pressure as the warm air goes up. The spiral begins and a tropical storm is formed. This is how local and global wind patterns affects the formation of tornadoes and hurricanes.
It was a Volcano that became dormant and turned into a "Mountain"
