A person with a malformed epiglottis will have trouble _____.

Biology

S_A_V [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A person with a malformed epiglottis will have trouble keeping food and fluid from entering the lungs.

Explanation:

Epiglottis, a flap of tissue (leaf-shaped structure) made of elastic cartilage is found inside the throat. It is attached to the larynx entrance and acts as a valve that keeps the food from entering the trachea (windpipe) and the lungs.

During breathing, it opens and allows the passage of air into the larynx and trachea. It closes during swallowing and allows the food and fluids to pass through the esophagus towards the stomach. Thus, it prevents the passage of food into the trachea and lungs (aspiration).

The malformed epiglottis or inflammation in epiglottis (epiglottitis) can cause the passing of food into trachea which may lead to airway obstruction or pneumonia or death.

12.) Using graph 1, explain how enzymes work. Include the term activation energy and compare the two curves,
seropon [69]

Answer:

Enzymes create chemical reactions in the body. They actually speed up the rate of a chemical reaction to help support life. The enzymes in your body help to perform very important tasks.

Explanation:

To understand more about working of enzyme and its activation energy lets consider few points:

• In biochemical processes, molecules require energy in order to start a reaction. For example, molecules need to have some kinetic energy, or velocity, to collide with other molecules to initiate a reaction. If the collisions don't happen often or don't have enough kinetic energy, no reaction will take place. The energy required to start a reaction is called the activation energy.

• Reactants and products have specific energies. In order to transform the reactants into products, the reactants would have to go through a transition state which is usually higher in energy.

• In this graph we see the plot of energy versus the progress of a reaction. Reactants have higher energy than products. The energy of the reactants increase and then decrease to the final product energy. The highest point in the curve represents the energy of the intermediate state in the reaction. The energy required to achieve the intermediate state is the activation energy of the reaction.

Thus, we conclude that enzyme requires certain amount of energy to complete the reaction and that energy is known as activation energy for the reaction.

const2013 [10]

Answer: A, the sun creates it's own light.

Explanation: <em>The moon can't create it's own light, so the sun shines on the moon and it </em><em>reflects</em><em>, or "bounces" off.  The sun is able to produce it's light by </em><em>fusion,</em><em> which also creates heat. </em>
