Is this a true or false question?
Answer:
Catalase behaves as a catalyst for the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Explanation:
Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme that plays a very important role in the protection against oxidative damage by breaking down hydrogen peroxide. It is a very highly conserved enzyme that has been identified from numerous species including bacteria, fungi, plants and animals.
Catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers for all known enzymes (40,000,000 molecules/second). This high rate shows an importance for the enzymes capability for detoxifying hydrogen peroxide and preventing the formation of carbon dioxide bubbles in the blood.
ANSWER: CANCER DEVELOPMENT
EXPLANATION:
Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are genes that regulates the cell cycle of a cell (i.e the cell division and replication). In other words, TSGs encodes protein that act as control or regulator of cell growth.
However, when there is an alteration in the genetic sequence (mutation) of the TSGs, this make the cell not to respond to cues that had been regulating it growth.
Thus, when cell growth is not regulated, it results to runaway or abnormal cell growth (i.e multiple folds cell division and replication), in other word referred to as “cancer”.
<span>The factor which is the least influential in affecting the biodiversity of wetlands is A. type of wetland. Regardless of its type, there will still be a lot of flora and fauna in a certain wetland. Other factors such as food resources, nutrients, and whether there is enough water are far more important for the existence of biodiversity than the type of wetlands.</span>
