Answer:
A
Explanation:
A. The optimum pH of the enzyme is 6.6. - this is true. The optimum pH of the enzyme is where its activity is the highest. On the graph, this is pH 6.6 (activity at 100)
B. The optimum pH of the enzyme is 5.8. - this is false, the activity of the enzyme peaks at 6.6 (100), at 5.8 the activity is 80
C. The enzyme's activity is greater around pH 8.0 than around pH 5.0 - This is false, the activity at pH 5 is 50, whereas at around 8 it is 20.
D
. The enzyme's activity continually increases as pH increases from 5.0 to 9.0 - this is false. The activity drops between pH 6.6 and pH 9.
Answer:
e.) If exposure to cowpox gives immunity to smallpox in milkmaids, then milkmaids have a natural immunity and their blood should be used to develop a smallpox vaccine.
Explanation:
- Milkmaids who suffered from cowpox did not suffer from smallpox i.e. they were immune to the disease.
- If milkmaids did not suffer from smallpox then there must be some element of immunity that they received once they had recovered from cowpox, this would likely be found in their blood as antibodies.
Answer:
The correct order, from fastest to slowest, for the passage of molecules and ions through the cell membrane is oxygen, sodium ions, glucose (option D).
Explanation:
The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer, with glycoproteins and membrane proteins, which constitutes a semi-permeable barrier to the passage of substances into and out of the cell.
The speed with which a substance can pass through the membrane depends on its chemical properties -hydrophilic substances pass through with greater difficulty than lipophilic ones- requiring in some cases specialized transport mechanisms. The different rates with which a substance passes depends on this.
- <em>Oxygen (O₂) </em><em>passes through simple diffusion, depending on a concentration gradient. It's the molecule that passes through the membrane the fastest.
</em>
- <em>In second place, there would be the </em><em>Na⁺ ions</em><em> -charged atoms- that cross the membrane by facilitated diffusion, through specific ionic channels.
</em>
- <em>The </em><em>glucose</em><em> molecule, being larger, requires the use of transport proteins, being its passage through the membrane slower with respect to oxygen or sodium.</em>
Undoubtedly, molecular weight and affinity for the plasma membrane are determining factors for the passage of molecules through the lipid bilayer.

This is more of an answer based off of knowledge than fact, but i believe its that "New ideas often develop from unsuccessful experimentation."

the same ancestry.
Common ancestry is identified in the genes. Selection forces are the drives to these physical and composition changes of an organism however, it can be traced back.
