Enzyme Activity and pH

Biology
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

B) After determining the optimum pH, they could vary the temperature of the environment to see if catalase is temperature specific

Enzymes are proteins which catalyze reactions by acting on substrates in order to speed up reactions- like the breakdown of large polysaccharides by amylase. Here, the enzyme catalase facilitates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and hydrogen. Catalase specificity is affected by pH, temperature and the presence of inhibitors.

In temperatures beyond its optimal range, catalase may undergo changes to its physical structure called denaturation; when denatured, enzymes lose their ability to bind specifically to their substrate -i.e. substrate binding specificity is lost. H2O2 would no longer be able to bind to the active site, and thus would not be broken down.

How are convection current in the mantle and in the oceans similar? How are they different?
Vanyuwa [196]

Hello,


Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Those forces are convection and gravity.


Convection describes the movement of gasses or liquids due to different temperatures. The convection currents just beneath Earth's crust flow very slowly, causing movement in the plates above them. These currents are different with the fact that they produce different plate movements. Ridge push occurs from the convection currents in the ocean. These occur at mid-ocean ridges, which are elevated higher than the rest of the ocean floor. In contrary, convection causes material in the mantle to flow. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.

Which explains how the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases can cause problems with earth’s energy budget?   A. The more green
dangina [55]
 C. <span>The more greenhouse gases that are in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped. That means earth’s energy budget could be disturbed because the amount of heat radiating toward the surface is greater than the amount of heat escaping from the earth</span>
