Answer:
The correct option is 3. "At pH 6.5 the enyzme is 50% active"
Explanation:
For the titratable group to be protonated and cause the enzyme to be in the active state, it needs to have gained a hydrogen cation (H+). In order for that to happen, there must be enough hydrogen cations in the environment of the enzyme, and hence, an acidic pH is required in this case.
Answer:
Constant variables
Explanation:
Elaina's investigation lacked the critical ingredient of constant variables which are important components of every scientific investigation. In every research, there are 3 important variables, namely:
1. Dependent variables: the actual variable to be measured during the course of investigations and whose values are dependent on another variable (independent variable) supplied by the investigators.
2. Independent variable: one of the variables that are supplied by investigators whose values are often manipulated to see the kind of changes it will cause to the dependent variable.
3. Constant variables: other variables that are neither independent nor dependent but constant for all the various experimental groups in investigations.
Answer:
Resistance bacteria survive in greater numbers and pass the trait to their offspring
Explanation:
Antibiotics are chemicals which are used in the treatment of bacterial infections. The bacteria sometimes have some form of immunity or resistance to a particular antibiotic due to a host of underlying factors.
Once resistance appears in a bacterial population, it spreads rapidly. The trait of immunity or resistance to such antibiotic is then passed as a trait from one generation to another.
