If a major change in pH occurred, the protease enzymes would stop functioning or function very slowly, assuming the original pH was the most optimal pH for them.

Answer:

The most likely effect of a major change in pH is a change in the configuration of the active sites of the enzyme.

Explanation:

Enzymes are mainly the molecules of protein, which mediate different chemical reactions that is, by enhancing the reaction rate inside the living organism's body. Protease refers to a protein-digesting enzyme, which functions on particular pH, for example pepsin functions on pH 2 inside the stomach, that is, highly acidic.  

An enzyme's shape determines its activity as they exhibit active sites that possess specific configurations, which fit in the substrate and lead to chemical reactions. A prime modification in pH can change the configuration of the active locations of the enzyme, making it sedentary.

The city of Los Angeles wants to know if there is a connection between physical fitness and air pollution. Fifty volunteers from
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Control group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a pollution-free chamber

Experimental group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a chamber filled with air pollutants common to Los Angeles

Independent variable: exposure to air pollution

Dependent variable: The heart rates (physical fitness) of the volunteer riders.

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, data is compared between the control group and experimental group to ascertain the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. A control group is the group in an experiment that is not treated with the independent variable i.e. the independent variable is controlled while the experimental group is the group that is treated with an independent variable.

N.B: The independent variable is the variable controlled by the experimenter in order to influence the dependent variable (measurable outcome).

In this experiment, the independent variable is the AIR POLLUTION the volunteer riders are exposed to while the dependent variable is the PHYSICAL FITNESS/ HEART RATES of the volunteer riders, which is dependent on the exposure to air pollution (independent variable).

The control group in this experiment is the volunteer riders placed in a POLLUTION-FREE CHAMBER where the independent variable cannot influence or have any effect on the measurable variable (dependent). The experimental group is the volunteer riders placed in a CHAMBER FILLED WITH AIR POLLUTANTS. The independent variable (air pollution) has been changed in the experimental group.

Assume that the body has been sectioned along three planes: (1) a median plane, (2) a frontal plane, and (3) a transverse plane
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

lungs and kidneys

Explanation:

The median plane divides the body into two halves through a mid line.

The transverse plain is also known as the axial plane and it divided the body into the upper part and a lower part.

The frontal plane is also known as the coronal plane. It divided the body into the dorsal and ventral sections. The dorsal and ventral sections are the front and back sections ( belly and back).

Lungs and kidneys are the only parts which cannot be seen through all the three plains.
