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.

What is the state vs. nonstate debate in hypnosis? Discuss any one state theory and nonstate theory
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The state theory suggests that when the subject is in a hypnotic trance, they have entered an altered state of consciousness rather than simply having become more suggestible - which is what the non-state theory states.

The non-state theory also suggests that when in a hypnotic state, the subject is actually still in control and actively participating rather than being under the control of the hypnotist who has induced some sort of change in brain function.

9. According to Larry Crawford, what is the most difficult part as Growing
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The correct option is D: Being prepared for harsh weather conditions

Explanation:

Plants are sensitive to the changes in the environment and any drastic changes in their surroundings can potentially cause the plant to go into stress, or possibly even die. Too high or low a temperature and the plant will not be able to cope. Similarly, drastic changes in water levels will really affect its health and growth.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
