Which effect does a gradual decrease in pH from 13 to 1 have on the action of amylase?

Biology
1 answer:
tatiyna3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A decrease in pH is too acidic compared to optimum pH for amylase activity. The hydrogen ion changes amylase sites of activity and amylase activity become low. At pH 13 to 1 which is acidic, reduces the activity of amylase because the hydrogen ion changes amylase activity sites and render it's action low which will denatures amylase and make it ineffective.

Explanation:

Amylase refer to enzymes that catalyses or breakdown starch into sugars. General, enzymes are biological substances that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.

Enzymes generally are affected by pH. The most favorable pH is the optimum pH which make amylase to be effective or enzymes.

A high pH or low pH has effect on the enzymes and will reduces enzymes activities. A low pH will cause the hydrogen ion to alter the enzymes sites and reduce their activities while high pH will cause the hydroxides ion to alter the enzymes activity sites.

The portion of the tubule system that is relatively impermeable to solutes but contains many aquaporins for water reabsorption
topjm [15]

Descending limb of loop of Henle

It helps to maintain the concentration of urine. It is highly permeable to water thus water is readily reabsorbed from the descending limb by osmosis. It is impermeable to sodium and chloride ions.

<h3>What is a Tubule system ?</h3>

The transverse tubular system is a network of interconnecting rings, each of which surrounds a myofibril

  • The nephron uses four mechanisms to convert blood into urine: filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion. These apply to numerous substances

  • The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and collecting duct (CD) are the final two segments of the kidney nephron. They have an important role in the absorption of many ions, and in water reabsorption.

1) B
    (I'm not so sure of this one) All of the other options have a steady impact on population regardless of the density of organisms except competition

2) D
    Increased carbon dioxide levels would not hinder plant growth, and tsunamis aren't really linked to carbon dioxide levels. Increased carbon dioxide is unlikely to lower the air temperature so only D is left.

3) A

4) Three properties of water that allow it to sustain life are that it is adhesive, it is a good solvent, and cohesion. Adhesion is important in situations such as water travelling up xylem tubes in plants so that the water is not pulled down by gravity and can reach parts of the plant that need water. Cohesion allows the water being pulled up the xylem to stay together and for water molecules to be pulled when a neighbouring one is moved. Water being a good solvent allows inorganic minerals to be taken with water through vascular tissue, such as in the previous example.

Area measuring 5 m² contains 50 earthworms what is the population density of the earth worms
Darina [25.2K]

The density of a population of living organisms is usually measured in individuals on one square km. In here we have 50 earthworms on an area of 5 square meters, thus we have 10 earthworms on every square meter. In order to get to the result we need to see first how many square meters there are in one square km. One square km has one thousand meters of length and one thousand meters of width so:

1,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000 km²

Since we established that we have 10 earthworms on every one square meter, we just need to multiply the number of square meters with the amount of earthworms on every square meter:

1,000,000 x 10 = 10,000,000

So we have a density of 10 million earthworms per square km.

Hydrothermal vents are often rich in metals, such as copper, and also host dense populations of marine organisms. Which of the f
nydimaria [60]

The answer is copper. Nonrenewable resources are those that cannot be readily/naturally replaced at rates that match those of consumption (an aspect that allow renewable resources to be sustainable). Copper are made deep in earth at very slow rates hence do not readily renew themselves. Organisms, on the other hand die, and are naturally replaced by offspring.
