When we look at stars, we notice that some appear brighter than others. Sirius looks much brighter than Rigel, but is it really

brighter? Or is Sirius much closer to Earth, giving it the appearance of being brighter? Actually, Sirius is about one hundred times closer to Earth than Rigel. If the two stars were the same distance from Earth, Rigel would appear much brighter. -We use two terms to reference the brightness of a star: absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude. Absolute magnitude is the measure of the light given off by a star, while apparent magnitude refers to the amount of light received on Earth. The color of a star indicates its temperature. Blue-white stars are very hot, while orange-red stars are relatively cool. In the early 1900's Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Russell noticed that the higher the temperature of a star, the greater the star’s absolute magnitude. They developed a graph that depicts this relationship called the H-R diagram. Most known stars fit into a diagonal band that runs from the upper left to the lower right of the diagram. This diagonal band is called the main sequence. About 90% of all stars are main sequence stars. Most stars are currently classified using the letters O, B, A, F, G, K, and M, where O stars are the hottest and the letter sequence indicates successively cooler stars down to the coolest M class. Betelgeuse is in the red spectral class. It is one of the largest of stars with extremely high luminosity although it has a relatively low surface temperature. How would Betelgeuse be classified?
A. Giant
B. Supergiant
C. White Dwarf
D. Main Sequence

Amanda [17]

Answer;

-Pellicle

Explanation;

-Protist cells may contain a single nucleus or many nuclei; they range in size from microscopic to thousands of meters in area. Protists may have animal-like cell membranes, plant-like cell walls, or may be covered by a pellicle.

-On a paramecium's exterior is found the pellicle. The pellicle is stiff to maintain the paramecium's shape and provide stability but it is also flexible to allow movement. It also acts as an attachment site for external organelles such as cilia.

What are the effects that enzymes can have on substrates
Burka [1]
In chemical reactions involving enzymes, the substrate proteins are huge molecules that will only react with each other if they're aligned just the right way. If they are permitted to interact with the enzymes present, the won't collide and react often enough for the reaction to do any good.The enzymes align the molecules, basically acting like "molecule shepherds," showing them the way they need to react.This speeds up the reaction greatly, making things like digestion possible.
