A. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions because the time needed to activate the reaction is lowered.
Answer:
Read the Description
Explanation:
Place the steps for the formation of the enzyme pepsinogen in the correct order. The DNA strands unwind, and RNA polymerase binds to the. template strand. The mRNA undergoes intron.
Answer:
Both conditions are caused by an inability of the body to produce adequate acetylcholine.
Explanation:
Botulism is a potentially fatal condition caused by the toxin of bacteria <em>Clostridium botulinum</em>. Early symptoms are weakness, slurred speech, blurred vision etc. It may lead to vomiting, abdominal swelling and respiratory failure if not treated. The toxin hinders the release of neurotransmitter acetylcholine due to which motor neurons are not able to send signals to muscle cells. Muscles are not able to function properly due to which paralysis occurs.
Myasthenia gravis is also a neuromuscular condition like botulism. But unlike botulism release of acetylcholine is not hindered here. The receptors for acetylcholine are destroyed or altered by body's own immune system. Acetylcholine despite being present is not able to relay the signal which leads to muscle weakness. Symptoms are almost similar to those of botulism.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Chemical energy stored in muscles transform to kinetic and heat energy
Answer:
1. polarity
2. hydrogen bonding
3. High heat capacity
4. Adhesion
5. polarity
6. surface tension
7. high heat vaporization
8. hydrogen bonds form a rigid and stable network
9. Water is a polar substance and fat is a nonpolar substance.
10. Cohesion
Explanation:
Water is a polar molecule that is held together by hydrogen bonds to form strong cohesive forces. This accounts for the surface tension in water. Surface tension is the force acting on water that it makes to behave like a stretched elastic skin.
The polarity of water accounts for the fact that it is found in several parts of the body where it largely plays the role of a polar solvent.
High heat capacity of water enables it to function well in the area of thermoregulation in the body. High heat vaporization accounts for the fact that water helps maintain extreme temperature changes in an area.
When in solid state, the hydrogen bonded network in water becomes rigid and forms a very stable network of water molecules. Being polar, water does not interact with fat because like dissolves like.
In plants, the attachment of water to plant roots is known as adhesion and is necessary for the capillary movement of nutrients to plants via the root.
