D. If pillar coral digest zooxanthellae, then the zooxanthellae inside the pillar coral must be dead.

The correct answer is option D

According to this hypothesis that pillar coral digested zooxanthellae, the coral digested zooxanthellae inside the pillar coral must be dead. If anything is engulfed then it should be first dead inside the body of the predator and then the energy is extracted from the food. The food eaten serves as a source of energy.

How can an experiment support or fail a hypothesis?

Zina [86]

Well a hypothesis is guess about an experiment and how it works or is preformed. If your supporting one then you agree with how its done and how it works and you got good results. If you fail a hypothesis that means you most likely tried and didn't succeed or didn't get the results you wanted. Sorry if this is confusing the question kinda confused me.

A head injury happens due to trauma to the brain or skull and classified as close or sometimes penetrating. It may occur right away or develop slowly. An example is contusion which is the answer on this scenario. This is called mild traumatic injury caused by a blow on the head yet none of the tissue of the brain is torn.

I need to know the hypothesized enzyme

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Hypotheis:

If high amounts of product in the samples, '+++' , correlates with optimal temperatures and pH for enzyme activity, then...

A- Pepsin
B- Amylase
C- thermophilic enzyme

Explanation:

Enzymes are specialized proteins that function as biological catalysts- they speed up chemical reactions. As proteins, these are susceptible to changes in temperature and pH- they function best at optimal values for both conditions, but can be denatured, rendering them inactive at relative extremes.

Each enzyme provided has its own optimal temperature and pH values.

Thermophilic enzymes are usually found in regions characterized by high temperatures. They show high thermostability, and do not become denatured at high temperatures- they thrive, and do not function well at lower temperatures.
Amylase is a hydrolase digestive enzyme found in the mouth, that acts on polysaccharides like starch to break 1,4 glycosidic bonds between glucose molecules. It works best at a physiological (neutral) pH and temperatures (around 37°)
Pepsin, another digestive enzyme, is a peptidase that breaks down proteins into peptide molecules. It is found in the stomach lining, where the pH is typically low i.e. acidic due to the hydrochloric acid in digestive juices.

Thus from the table A- pepsin, B- Amylase and C- thermophilic enzyme can be hypothesized.
