Answer:

Luke is probably suffering from major depressive disorder.

Explanation:

Major depressive disorder is a mental disorder that represents a high degree of depression that can last for weeks, months and even years. There are several symptoms that this disorder can present, the most common are: loss of interest in pleasurable and daily activities, extreme sadness, low self-esteem, lack of energy and many times can present physical pain.

In the case of Luke, a therapist with a biomedical perspective, he would look for biological factors in his body to justify the existence of the disorder. Among these actors, the therapist can look for hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, neurotransmitter functioning, among others.

The therapist with a cognitive-behavioral perspective, on the other hand, would approach the problem based on assessments of Luke's emotional and behavioral changes in the present and past periods, which may have triggered the problem.

nikitadnepr [17]

Covalent bonds is important in four macromolecules such as proteins (polymers of amino acids), nucleic acids (polymers of nucleotides), carbohydrates (polymers of sugars) and lipids (with a variety of modular constituents) because they served as a basic structure of macromolecules.

 In addition, the resulting covalent bond is a result of sharing a pair of electrons, one from each atom or molecular units.

Only a very few flowering plants have been able to invade the oceans. But the few marine ones are very successful. What are some
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

1. High osmotic pressure due to the hypersaline nature of marine habitats

2. The dependence of flowering plants on pollinating insects for fertilization. These insect pollinators are however, absent in the marine environment.

3. Competition from already-established sea weeds and grasses provides another challenge to flowering plants invadingnthe oceans.

4. Constant changes in the environment as well as temperature changes too

Explanation:

The marine environment is a hypersaline environment with a high salt concentration relative to that of the plant cell. Due to high salt concentration of the marine environment, their is high osmotic pressure on living oragnisms found therein. Organisms must have well-adapted osmo-regulatory mechanisms to counteract the high osmotic pressure of their environment. Therefore, flowering plants face the challenge of removing excess salt from their cells or else lose water to their environment, hence resulting in the death of the plant. However, most flowering plants lack this ability and thus, have found it difficult to invade the oceans.

Flowering plants depends on insect-pollinators for fertilization. However, these insect are not found in the oceans, and as such, it is difficult for flowering plants to invade the oceans.

Well-adapted seaweeds and grasses serve as competitors for any invading flowering plant. Since the flowering plants are not yet adapted for life in marine habitats, they lose out in this competition.

The oceans are constantly in a state of frequent turbulence and change due to tides and currents. Also, the temperature of the oceans are very low and fluctuations in the temperatures of the ocean do occur, utimately serving as obstacles to invading flowering plants to adapt to life in the oceans and seas.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

However, extreme high temperatures can cause an enzyme to lose its shape (denature) and stop working. pH: Each enzyme has an optimum pH range. Changing the pH outside of this range will slow enzyme activity. Extreme pH values can cause enzymes to denature.
