Pandas only blink sometimes because they are looking out for danger most of the time. Like other mammals, they have an upper and lower eyelid, so yes they do blink, but not as much as humans.
No not a singular cell but many could join up together..
<u>ANSWER:</u>
"Reduced concentration of substrate" available can interfere with the "ability of an enzyme" to catalyse a reaction. The main use of enzymes is to increase "the rate of reactions".
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
- There are several factors that have an impact on the ability of an enzyme to catalyse a reaction.
- These include temperature, pH levels, and the quantity of substrate as well as the reactant. When the "substrate concentration increases", the rate of the reaction also increases in the presence of an enzyme.
- On the other hand, when the "substrate concentration is low", the enzyme cannot catalyse the reaction at a fast rate.
Answer:
d. Fluoride becomes incorporated into the crystalline structure of teeth, making them less susceptible to decay
Explanation:
Dental caries results when cariogenic (caries-causing) bacteria metabolize carbohydrates or sugars present in the mouth for their energy needs, producing organic acids as byproducts, thus lowering the pH of the plaque biofilm.
The hydroxyapatite of tooth enamel is composed mainly of phosphate ions (PO₄³⁻) and calcium ions (Ca⁺). Under normal conditions, there is a stable equilibrium between the calcium and phosphate ions in saliva and the crystalline hydroxyapatite. At low pH (acidic conditions), there is a shift in equilibrium resulting in the dissolution of hydroxyapatite from tooth enamel, a process known as demineralization. A reverse process called remineralization (the process of incorporation of minerals in tooth enamel) occurs when the saliva, acting as a buffer elevates pH. When equilibrium is shifted to favor continued demineralization, dental caries results.
However, when fluoride is present in saliva, fluorapatite, rather than hydroxyapatite, forms during the remineralization process as fluoride ions replace hydroxyl groups in the formation of the apatite crystal lattice.
Fluorapatite is less soluble than hydroxyapatite making it more resistant to demineralization, even under conditions of low pH. Thus, fluoride acts as an effective anticaries agent.
Through cellular respiration animals produce carbon dioxide which is used for the calvin cycle in photosynthesis of plants.
