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.

Which of the following is formed during the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis? ATP Carbon dioxide Glucose Water
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Glucose

Explanation:

ATP, Carbon Dioxide, and Water are all results of Cellular Respiration and do <em>not</em><em> </em>form during Photosynthesis. These three are actually used in the process of Photosynthesis, so they are not created by it. Plants use photosynthesis to create their own glucose.

What were the first hominins? What was the evolutionary fate of the first hominins?
Zanzabum

Answer:

A) Pre-australopithecinerobust.

B) Australopithecinesgenus Homo.

Explanation:

Pre-australopithecinerobust.

The few findings indicate that he walked with his back straight, but the shape of the foot, with the big toe directed inward (as in the hands) instead of being parallel to the others, indicates that he should walk leaning on the outside of his feet and he couldn't travel great distances

Australopithecinesgenus Homo.

The first hominids that are certain that they were completely biped are the members of the Australopithecus genus, this type of hominin thrived in the wooded savannas of East Africa between 4 and 2.5 million years ago with remarkable ecological success, as evidenced by the radiation he experienced, with at least five different species scattered from Ethiopia and Chad to South Africa.
