The given statement is False. Hence, the correct choice is F.
The activity of the plants and the animals are influenced by the abiotic factors present in their environment. The change in the abiotic factors outside the body such as the temperature, air and the presence of the water molecules provoke responses in the body of the organism. For example, the winters (low temperature) causes the loss of the leaves in the deciduous trees and the increase in the temperature causes more sweating in our body.
It should be 1830 or a possibility of 1850
The continental shelf is a gently sloping feature found at the edge of a continental landmass going seaward from the coast. Rivers that empty into the sea can produce currents that are strong enough to erode the material that builds the shelf. When this occurs channels or submarine canyons are formed. These canyons are deep and dark as no light can penetrate these regions. The canyons often lead out to sea towards the edge of the shelf.
Answer:
a.) Hydrogen peroxide are highly reactive oxygen compounds used as an antiseptic
b.) Used in treating punctured wounds due to the nature of the wound which helps microorganisms to thrive.
c.) Fizzing associated with hydrogen peroxide use is due to presence of the enzyme catalase.
Explanation:
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound which is made up of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. It is powerful oxidizing agent which takes part in biological reactions. This is possible as it can remove electrons from other biological molecules which can damage other cellular components. It is used an an antiseptic to reduce infection because, being a powerful oxidizing agent, it has the ability to react with cell wall of these microorganisms through removal of electrons thereby causing damage to it.
Punctured wounds are narrow in structure which allows obligate anaerobic organisms to thrive because of reduced oxygen flow in the wound. Hydrogen peroxide can effectively eliminate these organisms which are most likely to cause infection in that site because they lack the enzyme called catalase.
Catalase is an enzyme which is present in living cells except obligate anaerobic organisms. It converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The fizzing noticed by Jill while cleaning the wound with hydrogen peroxide is due to the catalase in Jill's own cells which converts the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. When oxygen is given off, fizzing reactions are seen at the surface of the wound.
