Answer:

SOCIAL CATEGORIZATION

EXPLANATION:

Social Categorization is the process of classifying people into groups based on similar characteristics, whether it be nationality, age, occupation, diagnosis, or some other trait.

Social categorization is a natural part of social perception; it provides a mental shortcut in that it allows us to infer properties about a person based on the properties of others in the same category.

The main adaptive function of social categorization is that it permits and constrains otherwise chaotic inductive inferences.

1.5 (b) proteins quiz A useful model for enzyme action is the: the lock and key model. double helix model. ball and socket model

Goryan [66]

Answer:

A useful model for enzyme action is the Lock and Key model.

Explanation:

The Lock and Key model or theory was first postulated by Emil Fischer in 1894. It is used to represent the enzyme and its specific substrate. The enzyme (lock) is specifically activated by the substrate (key) through its active site (key hole) to produce a catalyzed reaction. If the keys are too small or too big for the key hole, it will not produce any reaction.

The Double Helix model by Watson and Crick is used to represent the DNA present in an individual. This is made up of two strands of DNA bounded by hydrogen bonds. In between these bonds are nitrogenous bases adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C).

The Ball and Socket model represents body joints, specifically the hip and the shoulder joints. The shape of the head of the joint is spherical and fits into a cup-like depression of the receiving bone. The range of motion of this joint is usually wide and has one central point.

The Amino Acid Chain model, also known as polypeptides, are linked together by a peptide bond. A peptide bond is produced by hydrolysis. The chain usually starts with the amino group and ends with the carboxyl group.

What evidence must be considered when determining whether or not a trait is an adaptation

Rashid [163]

Answer:

An adaptation can be viewed as a trait that emerged and developed for a certain condition so as to increases the organism changes of survival or fitness.

For a trait to be called adaptive, it must have had a positive influence but not majorly a trait that develops in reaction to a certain selection pressure.

Categorically, a trait is seen as adaptation if it is the aftermath of selection, and adaptive if it is of favourable influence at the existing time.

What is an example of creatine phosphate?

slega [8]

In the process of regeneration of ATP, creatine phosphate transfers a high-energy phosphate to ADP. The products of this reaction are ATP and creatine. Creatine phosphate can be obtained from two sources: ingestion of meat and internal production by the liver and kidneys.
