Answer:

If mitosis did not take place, the skin cells would die and they do not get substituted. The skin cell divides briskly so that to maintain a protective barrier against infection. The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin and comprises majorly of dead cells, which constitute keratin.  

Keratin refers to a tough fibrous protein found in the skin, hair, and calluses, and functions as a protective covering. The epidermis cells are spontaneously going through the process of mitosis so that the outer dead cells comprising keratin get briskly substituted as they fall off.  

Afterward, the newer thriving cells start generating keratin, lose their cellular constituents and die, and thus, the cycle goes on. The skin functions as a protective layer to infection, thus, it is renewed and repaired spontaneously.

Identify two examples of environmental factors that may impact salivary peroxidase activity. Describe how each of the environmen
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Examples of environmental factors that may alter salivary peroxidase include periodontitis, oral hygiene, presence of heavy metal ions, bacteria (e.g., <em>Streptococcus gordonii</em>), anaerobic conditions, temperature, pH, etc.

Explanation:

Peroxidase is an enzyme found in all aerobic cells that act to convert toxic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into dioxygen (O2) and water (H2O). This enzyme plays an important non-specific defensive role against proliferating micro-organisms that cause periodontal diseases such as periodontitis, which is a serious inflammatory disease affecting the tissues around the teeth. The most common environmental factors influencing the development of periodontitis include oral hygiene, smoking and age. In this regard, it has recently been shown that there is a positive correlation between salivary peroxidase activity and periodontal health, especially in non-smoker individuals. In consequence, it is expected that smoker individuals are more prone to suffer periodontal diseases by reduction of the salivary peroxidase levels.
