Hello
We know that biological processes are carried out by organic catalysts known as enzymes. Enzymes are protein molecules that operate over a range of conditions, and a specific set of those conditions are ideal for them. However, in most organisms that are not adapted to withstand high temperatures, the enzymes cannot operate beyond 50 degrees Celsius. This is because their structure starts to deform due to the breakage of bonds within the molecule. The break down is cause by the energy supplied in the form of temperature. An enzyme's structure is essential for it to carry out its task and is made specifically for the molecule it is to act on, the substrate. If the structure is deformed, the enzyme cannot carry out its function. Therefore, the enzymes producing glucose denature and glucose production decreases.

The modern classification system includes six
vovangra [49]

When Linnaeus developed his system of classification, there were only two kingdoms, Plants and Animals. But the use of the microscope led to the discovery of new organisms and the identification of differences in cells. A two-kingdom system was no longer useful. Today the system of classification includes six kingdoms.

If ammonia is used as an energy and electron source by a bacterium, that bacterium would be considered a ___.
zhuklara [117]

If a bacterium uses ammonia as an energy as well as electron source, it is classified as lithotrophic chemotrophic.

<h3>Descriptive terms for lithotrophic chemotrophic:</h3>

Humans, fungi, and also many prokaryotes are chemotrophs that get their energy from organic chemicals. Lithotrophs are chemotrophs that obtain energy from inorganic substances such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as well as reduced iron. Lithography is a microbiological phenomenon that is unique in the globe.

<h3>What is the difference between chemoautotrophs and chemolithotrophs?</h3>

Chemotrophs are creatures that get energy from their surroundings by oxidizing electron sources. These compounds might well be organic (chemoorganotrophs) or inorganic (chemoorganotrophs) (chemolithotrophs). The term chemotroph is used in contrast to phototroph, which uses solar energy.

Which of the following correctly demonstrates how an anatomist and a physiologist might describe components of the eye?
stiks02 [169]
An anatomist studies the parts of the body by looking at the physical components of the that body part and identifying its functions. A physiologist looks at the mechanism at how a body part functions. The components of the eye according to an anatomist would be based on the different physical components of the eye while to a physiologist, the components would be based on the functions.

A piece of granite is determined to contain 50 grams of U-238. After on half-life, how much material
zvonat [6]

Answer: Hydrogen-3 or tritium as it is commonly called, has a half life of 12.32 years. If you start with 20 grams of it, how much will remain after 25 years? Ending Amount = Beginning Amount / 2 (time / half-life) Ending Amount = 20 / 2 (25 / 12.32) Ending Amount = 20 / 2 (2.0292) Ending Amount = 20 / 4.0818. Ending Amount = 4.8997 grams
