Which would you expect to be the most active on a cold day?

Biologically thinking, I would say viruses.
Viruses are Inert organisms, they are not influenced by temperature on the opposite of other organisms like humans or bacteria (there are some exceptions in bacteria)
Temperature influences proteins, it could change their conformation and their activity, especially for enzymes.
Temperature decreases the energy flow, due to the decrease of thermal agitation of small molecules like ions in cells.
Viruses don't need active enzymes to live, it just needs host cells, which will be easier on cold days because of the decrease of immune system activity
On cold days you can see an emergence of viruses infections like flu or cold.

Since its inception, the theory of evolution has been the subject of frequent debate. Those who oppose evolutionary theory often

Answer:

There are lots of transitional organisms in the fossil record though it does take very specific and precise conditions for a fossil to be preserved, a deer that dies in a field will not end up in the fossil record so we are looking at a small sampling of the evidence (and a good thing too or there wouldn't be anywhere to walk with all the bones laying around)

Select all that apply. Which of the following are not properties of enzymes

AlladinOne [14]

Enzymes are proteins that are biological catalysts

They reduce the activation energy required for a reaction to occur and thus speed up a reaction

Temperature, above a certain point (optimum temperature) causes them to break down and they are gradually destroyed (denaturing)

They work best at a particular pH (optimum pH) and are once again destroyed by low or high pH's

They have a specific shape, with one particular part, known as the active site, that is specific to the substrate they speed the reaction of. These means they are specific to one type of reaction.

They aren't used in the reaction so they're re-usable.

If it isn't one of these then it is not one of the properties of enzymes

Why are lethal dominant alleles so much more rare than lethal recessive alleles?

juin [17]

Lethal alleles cause the death of an organism prenatal or after the birth. Lethal alleles are usually a consequence of a mutation and they can be recessive, dominant or conditional. Since the lethal dominant alleles are harmful whether they are carried in homozygous (e.g.AA) or heterozygous (e.g.Aa) form, a strong selection against them is present and thus these alleles are much more rare.

Viewing the shape of a bacterial or archaeal cell using a microscope gives a great deal of information about the metabolism and

ivann1987 [24]

The information as stated is false.

<h3>What is a microscope?</h3>

A microscope is a device that could be used to view the interior of a cell. It is a device that uses light to show the interior of the cell. The magnification of the microscope is what determines how much information that you could get from it.

The first compound microscope was discovered by Robert Hooke and was used extensively in the study of cells and this is how the study of microorganisms became more elaborate.

Thus, it is false to say that viewing the shape of a bacterial or archaeal cell using a microscope gives a great deal of information about the metabolism and lifestyle of the organism.
