Lipids are not enzymes, or to put it in another way enzymes are protein in nature and not lipids, nucleic acids or carbohydrates. Enzymes are  defined as organic  substances which speed up biochemical reactions but they remain exactly the way they were before and after the reaction, that is they are not changed, before, during and after the reaction.

Enzymes are a special kind of protein and they exhibit protein characteristics. One of the main characteristics is that they are affected by extreme pH and temperature. When exposed to such, they get denatured. Protein is the only macromolecule that gets denatured and become inactive or damaged permanently

Enzymes work best within a narrow pH and temperature range specific to each enzyme, outside of which  they are rendered inactive.

b.Trypsin is an enzyme that helps us digest protein. In the small intestine, trypsin breaks down proteins, continuing the process of digestion that began in the stomach. It may also be referred to as a proteolytic enzyme, or proteinase. Trypsin is produced by the pancreas in an inactive form called trypsinogen.Apr 13, 2018

Stem cells are cells that can differentiate into many different kinds of cells. Scientists have discovered that the environment
expeople1 [14]

When stem cells grown on hard, rigid surface, then they became bone cells. Researchers demonstrate in Nature materials that human mesenchymal stem cells grown on a rigid substrate for some time become biased toward differentiating into bone-cell lineage, whereas cell grown on softer surfaces are just likely to eventually follow a bone or fat cell fate.

g If a colony of bacteria starts with 1 bacterium and doubles in number every 20 ​minutes, how many bacteria will the colony con
Lynna [10]

Answer: 2.81 x 10∧14 baterias after 16 hours.

Explanation:

Hi, first we have to find how many 20 minute intervals are in 16 hours.

If 1 hour = 60 min, 16hours = 960 minutes (16 h x 60 min / 1 h)

If we divide the 960 minutes (16 hours) by 20 minutes we obtain 48. (960/48)

There are 48 twenty minutes intervals in 16 hours.

Now we have to apply the exponential growth formula:

P (t) = Po (1 +r) ∧t

Where:  

P (t) = population at time t  

P (0) = initial population (1)

r = growth rate (1)

t = time (48)

Replacing with the values given:

P (t) = 1 (1 + 1) ∧48= 2.81 x 10∧14

2.81 x 10∧14 baterias after 16 hours.

iren2701 [21]
<h2>Diving response</h2>

Explanation:

  • The plunging reaction in human beings is described by breath-holding, easing back of the pulse (jumping bradycardia), decrease of appendage blood stream and a continuous ascent in the mean blood vessel circulatory strain.
  • <em>The bradycardia results from expanded parasympathetic upgrade to the cardiovascular pacemaker.</em>  
  • Hydrostatic weight on the outside of the body because of head out drenching in water causes negative weight breathing which movements blood into the intrathoracic circulation.
