A. Initiate fluid replacement therapy

Explanation:

Ketoacidosis occurs when the body fats are broken down rapidly by the liver to release ketones in the blood.

Excess of ketones in the blood makes it acidic and as a result the tissues get damaged and dehydrated.

In case it is left untreated it can be life threatening.

Ketoacidosis is generally observed in people with diabetes and this condition is often treated by administering insulin in the body.

However, the fluid replacement therapy should be the first step to treat this condition because, the body must not go into dehydrated state and the volume of fluid in body should be maintained to circulate insulin properly.

I need to know the hypothesized enzyme
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Hypotheis:

<em>If high amounts of product in the samples, '+++' , correlates with optimal temperatures and pH for enzyme activity, then...</em>

  • <u>A- Pepsin</u>
  • <u>B- Amylase </u>
  • <u> C- thermophilic enzyme</u>

Explanation:

Enzymes are specialized proteins that function as biological catalysts- <u>they speed up chemical reactions.</u> As proteins, these are susceptible to changes in temperature and pH- they function best at optimal values for both conditions, but can be denatured, rendering them inactive at relative extremes.

Each enzyme provided has its own optimal temperature and pH values.

  • Thermophilic enzymes are usually found in regions characterized by high temperatures. They show high thermostability, and do not become denatured at high temperatures- they thrive, and do not function well at lower temperatures.
  • Amylase is a hydrolase digestive enzyme found in the mouth, that acts on polysaccharides like starch to break 1,4  glycosidic bonds between glucose molecules. It works best at a physiological (neutral) pH and temperatures (around 37°)
  • Pepsin, another digestive enzyme, is a peptidase that breaks down proteins into peptide molecules. It is found in the stomach lining, where the pH  is typically low i.e. acidic due to the hydrochloric acid in digestive juices.

Thus from the table A- pepsin, B- Amylase and C- thermophilic enzyme can be hypothesized.

Which of the following is the most direct evidence for evolution?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

D. Fossil record.

Explanation:

The fossil record evidences the evolutionary history of life on Earth by tracing the life forms that existed from earlier geological times and remained in the sedimentary rock. Different fossils were dated in the sedimentary rocks of all geological periods. The simplest forms of life were discovered in the oldest rocks, while more complex fossil organisms were found in the newest rocks. In consequence, the fossil record can support the evolutionary process as proposed by Charles Darwin, who indicated that the simplest forms of life evolved in more complex organisms.

Mendel crossed tall pea plants with short pea plants. The offspring were all tall plants.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The short is recessive and the tall is dominant

Explanation:

The Punnett Square would look like this (T - tall, t - short):

<u>   |  T |  T  |</u>

<u> t | Tt | Tt |</u>

<u> t | Tt | Tt |</u>

<u />

All offspring carry the short gene, but the tall gene is dominant, so the plants are tall with the possibility of having short offspring of their own.
