Why do you think catalase has to work so quickly?

Biology
1 answer:
shtirl [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Hydrogen peroxide is toxic.

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide is a natural product of the reactions in the cell. However, it is toxic to cells and has to be broken down.

Catalase catalyses the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. It is found in all living cells and is very important to prevent the build up of hydrogen peroxide. If catalase didn't work quickly, hydrogen peroxide would accumulate in the cell and poison it, causing the cell to die.

why does the meiosis produce cells with only half the amount of DNA? How does this aid in the formation of a healthy zygote?
Andreyy89
Meiosis produces cells (germ cells or gametes) with only half the DNA, or chromosomes, as normal cells (somatic cells). This is called haploid or referred to as "n" number of chromosomes. Normal body cells have doubke that, called "2n," or diploid. For humans our n = 23, so germ cells (haploid) have only 23 chromosomes, while somatic (normal body) cells have "2n" or 46 chromosomes. It is important to only carry half the number of chromosomes or DNA (n), because it is going to combine with another half (n) when sperm meets egg during fertilization. This n + n = 2n restores the diploid number of chromosomes (DNA) in a zygote, the first cell of a future embryo, fetus, and new human being.

I think it is yes because they are both studies. Pharmakinetics is the study of an organism affecting a drug which could theoretically and potentially affect the result on how a drug affects an organism. I hope this helps you. I am not completely sure though. Just my logic speaking.
