You have learned in class that changing the pH or temperature of the environment can denature an enzyme. When an enzyme is denat

ured, it's shape changes, preventing it from forming an enzyme-substrate complex and slowing the reaction or even causing it to stop. Your group is curious about what might denature catalase. What would be the most appropriate hypothesis to use if you wanted to test conditions that could denature catalase?
A) If the amount of liver is increased, then the reaction rate will increase.
B) If the hydrogen peroxide is warmed, then the rate of the reaction will increase.
C) If the liver is placed in an acidic solution, then the reaction rate will decrease.
D) If the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is decreased, then the reaction rate will decreas

Answer:

C) If the liver is placed in an acidic solution, then the reaction rate will decrease.

Explanation:

Placing the pH in an acidic solution will cause denaturing of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme which is in our liver and it breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen so as to protect our body from harmful effects of hydrogen peroxide. Catalase works best at 7 pH value. If we will place the liver in acidic solution it will cause denaturation of catalase. Denaturation alters the shape of the active site of enzymes. Active sites are the sites in enzymes which are meant for substrate binding. They have a shape which fits a specific substrate. So, if the shape of the active site will change due to denaturation, the substrate will no longer be able to fit into the enzyme and therefore reaction will not take place.

Answer:

Climate change is rapidly becoming known as a tangible issue that must be addressed to avoid major environmental consequences in the future. Recent change in public opinion has been caused by the physical signs of climate change–melting glaciers, rising sea levels, more severe storm and drought events, and hotter average global temperatures annually. Transportation is a major contributor of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, accounting for approximately 14 percent of total anthropogenic emissions globally and about 27 percent in the U.S.

Fortunately, transportation technologies and strategies are emerging that can help to meet the climate challenge. These include automotive and fuel technologies, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and mobility management strategies that can reduce the demand for private vehicles. While the climate change benefits of innovative engine and vehicle technologies are relatively well understood, there are fewer studies available on the energy and emission impacts of ITS and mobility management strategies. In the future, ITS and mobility management will likely play a greater role in reducing fuel consumption. Studies are often based on simulation models, scenario analysis, and limited deployment experience. Thus, more research is needed to quantify potential impacts. Of the nine ITS technologies examined, traffic signal control, electronic toll collection, bus rapid transit, and traveler information have been deployed more widely and demonstrated positive impacts (but often on a limited basis). Mobility management approaches that have established the greatest CO2 reduction potential, to date, include road pricing policies (congestion and cordon) and carsharing (short-term auto access). Other approaches have also indicated CO2 reduction potential including: low-speed modes, integrated regional smart cards, park-and-ride facilities, parking cash out, smart growth, telecommuting, and carpooling.

The false spider mite, Brevipalpus phoenicis, has only two chromosomes. Which of the following pieces of evidence would allow yo
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - a. If these two mite chromosomes have different genes at different loci.

Explanation:

If it is 2n= 2, it means that it is diploid and has two sets of chromosomes in which one set comes from mother and the other from father which means parent's genes contribute to diploid equally. Both sets of chromosomes form homologous chromosome pair. Each homolog of the pair has the same gene at the same loci in diploid and if it has not the same homologous gene at the same loci these are haploid.
