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.

Using data from the table above, select the best explanation for why that cell will be able to eliminate waste most efficiently?
fomenos
The correct option is this: CELL 2 WILL THE ONE THAT WILL BE ABLE TO ELIMINATE WASTES MOST EFFICIENTLY. This is because it has the highest surface area to volume ratio which facilitates the exchange of materials between a cell and its environment.
The rate of diffusion of materials into and out of the cell depends on the surface area to volume ratio of the cell. The higher this ratio, the higher the rate of diffusion.

Explain e.o. wilson’s theory of island biogeography as it applies to environments other than islands physically surrounded by wa
laiz [17]

Today, any environment surrounded by other ecosystems that are unlike it is subject to Wilson’s theory of island biogeography. Because they are geographically isolated from other related ecosystems, these ecologies are referred to as "islands." Waterbodies divide tropical islands, but this idea also takes into account mountaintops, caverns, and other isolated ecosystems.

<h3>What is Wilson’s theory of island biogeography?</h3>
  • The biologist Edward O. Wilson and environmentalist Robert MacArthur published The Theory of Island Biogeography in 1967. It is widely considered as a foundational work in the ecology and biogeography of islands. The book was reissued by the Princeton University Press in 2001 as a volume in their "Princeton Landmarks in Biology" series.
  • The hypothesis that insular biota maintain a dynamic equilibrium between extinction and immigration rates was made more well-known by the book. An island's pace of new species immigration will decline as the number of species increases, while the rate of extinction of native species will rise.
  • Thus, MacArthur and Wilson anticipate that there will come a point of equilibrium where the rate of immigration and the rate of extinction are equal.

_____ communicate information in the opposite direction, from the brain and nervous system to muscles and glands.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The correct answer would be efferent neurons.

Efferent neurons are the motor neurons which communicate information in the opposite direction as compared to the afferent neurons, that is, they communicate information or response impulses from the brain or central nervous system to the muscles or glands.

The response impulses results in the movement of the muscles or activation/deactivation of certain gland

In contrast, afferent neurons are the sensory neurons which carry impulses from the receptors to the central nervous system.
