Hot springs in Yellowstone National Park can reach 205 degrees Fahrenheit (96 degrees Celsius), a temperature at which few organ

isms can survive. Organisms called thermophiles, however, thrive at this temperature and produce the bright color of the park's Grand Prismatic Spring. Which statement is a testable hypothesis to explain how thermophiles can grow at such a high temperature?
Thermophiles were created to live at high temperature.
Thermophiles obtain energy from high temperature environments.
Thermophiles have heat-resistant enzymes.
Thermophiles have been found in many high temperature environments.

Answer:

Thermophiles have heat-resistant enzymes.

Explanation:

A hypothesis refers to the possible explanation of processes and is based on observation.  

Thermophiles are able to survive the extremes of the temperature found in hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. Their ability to withstand such temperature may be due to the presence of heat resistant enzymes.

Since enzymes are proteins, they are denatured at higher temperatures. It is one of the factors that determine the temperature range that can be tolerated by an organism.  

Hence, the presence of heat resistant enzymes in thermophiles can be one of the possible explanations about their ability to survive under the temperature as high as 205 degrees Fahrenheit.

The ________ is an alternative system for classifying carbohydrate-containing foods.
murzikaleks [220]

Carbohydrates glycaemic index (GI)

Glycemic index estimates carbohydrates containing food based on how they increase the glucose in the body. Foods are rated by comparing them to a reference food. Foods with high glycaemic index increases blood glucose than foods with average or low glyceamic index.  When taking foods with high GI, low GI foods should be combined with it in order to balance the meal. Examples of low GI foods are corn, most fruits, and yam. Medium GI foods include pita bread and whole wheat. Puffed rice, instant oatmeals are examples of foods with high GI.

Is a heat pack safe for period pain ?
OLga [1]

Answer:

I hope this hepls :)

Explanation:

Heat therapy is said to work because of its analgesic properties or its ability to bring blood to the area which can penetrate deep into the muscular tissue. However, heat therapy is also said to work because it is comforting on a psychological level. According to Lorimer Moseley “to reduce pain, we need to reduce credible evidence of danger & increase credible evidence of safety” and applying heat makes us feel safe. Why? Because the cold kills!  

Despite this, there is little evidence to show that it helps alleviate pain at certain trigger points  (small patches of acutely sensitive soft tissue) in the body and there is less evidence to show that it works for period pain. One study has claimed that heat can work for period pain however the researchers failed to differentiate if their exercise programme or the psychological effect of feeling warm eased their pain. This kind of testing means that other variables influence participants’ perception of pain and we can’t be certain if the heat therapy actually helped. What we do know is there are certainly drawbacks to this kind of treatment.
