Some animals that are scavengers can eat bacteria-laden meat that would harm humans. Which of the following best explains why th

ese bacteria would harm a human, but not a scavenger?
A) The scavenger's immune system is strong enough to fight off bacterial infections before it produces toxins and damages tissues.
B) Only human cells have the complementary receptors that bind to surface molecules found on the bacteria.
C) Antibodies found in the blood of the scavenger destroy the bacteria as soon as they enter the bloodstream.
D) The pH and temperature environment in the human encourages more bacterial growth and colonization.

Answer:

A) The scavenger's immune system is strong enough to fight off bacterial infections before it produces toxins and damages tissues.

Explanation:

Animals that feed on meat might have the immune system adapted to it and strong enough to prevent bacterial infections before it produces toxins and damages tissues. Some of these animals (beetles) spray the rotting meat with an antimicrobial substance produced by their own organism, before starting to eat. Other animals, however, consume rotten meat and attack bacteria with stomach acid that is ten times more acidic than our stomach acid, which can eliminate a large part of bacteria, before they cause problems. However, some bacteria can survive and cause serious problems if we eat these animals.

An enzyme was isolated from digestive juices taken from the small intestine. an experiment was set up to test the ability of the
Sergio039 [100]
1. Our results showed that test tube B contained end products of protein digestion, meaning that the isolated enzyme has the ability to break down protein. The end products of protein digestion include small polypeptides, dipeptides, and amino acids. In general, test tube B will contain the building blocks of proteins, which are the amino acids.

2. The two test tubes were placed in a hot water bath at 37oC. This is because the enzyme studied is a human enzyme and it works best at the human body temperature, which is approximately 37oC.
Enzymes are biological catalysts, which means that they accelerate chemical reactions. As a result, an enzyme's activity is greatly affected by temperature. Every enzyme, depending on each function and origin, has a specific range of ideal temperature conditions. If the temperature rises above the maximum accepted, then the enzyme denatures and loses its structure.

3. If the enzyme studied was added in a tube containing starch instead of proteins, then nothing would happen. This is because the enzymes are highly specialized and have very specific actions. It has been proved that this enzyme's activity involves the digestion of proteins.
Starch is a polysaccharide produced by plants, this means that starch is a carbohydrate. Given that starch is not a protein, it will not be digested by the enzyme. An enzyme digesting proteins, will not have any effect on carbohydrates.

4. The smaller molecules which are the result of the digestion happening in the digestive system are absorbed by the human body. More specifically, the products of protein digestion are absorbed by the intestine and then transported into the bloodstream. From the blood, they are then absorbed by other tissues.
After they are absorbed, they are used to build muscles or other compounds which can produce energy.

svlad2 [7]

Scientists should not have the ability to patent their own research methods as this prevents additionally scientific knowledge to be present within the experimental sciences. The last step of the scientific method is to communicate and share your own findings, and without the ability to do so, it prevents constructive criticisms of the method as well as improvements that would otherwise be prevented from patenting. In the field of genetic engineering specifically, the Human Genome project or (HGP) was an international scientific investigation that promoted communication between scientists rather than the restriction of scientific knowledge. The results of this international collaboration led to multitudes of information being presented regarding human genetic makeup. Therefore, patents ultimately prevent the progression of the sciences and scientific knowledge.  


I dont know if there are typos but hopefully this helps.
