How do pH levels affect enzymes

Biology
2 answers:
slamgirl [31]3 years ago

Enzymes function best at the normal pH level they were made to be in. Most work best at a neutral pH level (7), but some enzymes such as pepsin (located in the stomach) work best in very acidic pH levels. If the pH level becomes too acidic for the enzyme, it can lead to denaturing of the enzyme's active site.

Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value - the point where the enzyme is most active - is known as the optimum pH.  Extremely high or low pH values generally result in complete loss of activity for most enzymes.

What are the sequence of steps that includes the image on the retina
jonny [76]

Answer: Light goes into the eye via the cornea, it then pass through the pupil, the lens, the vitreous humor and finally forms an image on the retina.

Explanation:

Light goes into the eye via the cornea. The cornea is a clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye.

From the cornea, the light passes through the pupil. The pupil regulates the amount of light passing through.

From the pupil, , light hits the lens. The lens is the clear structure inside the eye. It focuses light rays onto the retina.

Subsequently, light passes through the vitreous humor. A clear, jelly-like substance that fills the center of the eye. It helps to keep the eye round in shape.

Finally, the light reaches the retina where the image is formed the image is usually inverted. The retina is a light-sensitive nerve layer that is situated at the back of the eye.

The main function of the optic nerve is to carry the signals to the visual cortex of the brain. The visual cortex turns the signals into images.

A cell under a microscope shows Two daughter cells were formed and they are haploid. Which stage of meiosis is the cell showing?
Nadya [2.5K]

The answer is <span>Meiosis I.</span>



<span>Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half - from diploid to haploid - in daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I produces two haploid cells. Meiosis II is analogous to mitosis, so each of these two haploid cells will in meiosis II produce two haploid cells. In total, meiosis results in four haploid cells.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Therefore, the production of two haploid daughter cells is in meiosis I.</span>
