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.

What element behaves MOST like magnesium?
zimovet [89]
These would be the elements in row 2 the alkaline metals. Elements in a row usually share many qualities such as electon reactivity as well as similar characteristics like the fact that many alkaline metals are considered Cations, ions with positive charges. Some examples are beryllium and calcium.

The frequency of carriers for a rare autosomal recessive genetic condition is 0.04 in a population. Assuming this population is
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg principle states that frequency of alelle and genotype will remain constant in the absence of genetic disturbances such as mutation, no change in the DNA sequence, the population must be large and others

the principle is defined by the equation

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where the frequency of the dominant allele is p, and the frequency of the recessive allele is q. Going by the what is given which is for the carriers is 0.04 = 2pq

substitute the value into the expression

p² + 0.04  +  q² = 1;  The information is not enough to calculate either p or q going by the equation generated.

Maurinko [17]
The answer is A) That the seed eating species would disappear, because the seeds would disappear followed by the finches that ate those seeds and the other finches that eat other food like insects would thrive.
