Why are enzymes important for our bodies
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Because enzymes have many functions as chemical catalysts in numerous chemical reactions (for example in metabolism). By lowering the activation energy, they make it much easier to carry out reactions. They are also indispensable for signal transduction and cell regulation, often via kinases and phosphatases. They also generate movement, with myosin hydrolyzing ATP to generate muscle contraction, and also transport cargo around the cell as part of the cytoskeleton. Other ATPases in the cell membrane are ion pumps involved in active transport.

When a tick transfers Lyme disease from a deer to a human, the tick is considered the ________ in the chain of infection
melisa1 [442]

The tick is considered the vector in the chain of infection.

Generally, vector organisms are organisms that are capable of transmitting disease pathogens from infected organisms to uninfected ones either directly or indirectly as a result of their activities.

Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of vertebrate animals such as deers and humans. When they feed on the blood of animals with certain infections, the pathogens for such infections are sometimes carried in the guts of the parasites and these are transferred to the bloodstream of the next animal that would be their host.

A good example of this is Lyme disease.

What makes some collisions elastic and others inelastic?
quester [9]

Answer : The The correct option is, If there is energy lost in the collision to sound, heat, etc., the collision is inelastic.


Explanation :

  • Elastic collision : It is defined as in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision.
  • Inelastic collision : It is defined as in which there is a loss of kinetic energy in the collision and this energy changed to another form of energy.

If the collision involves bouncing, it is inelastic because kinetic energy is not conserved.

If the collision involves sticking together, it is inelastic because kinetic energy is not conserved, it is changes to potential energy.
