Answer:

All organisms are made of four types of carbon-based molecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Enzymes are mainly protein molecules in cells which work as biological catalysts. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in the body, but do not get used up in the process, therefore can be used over and over again. With an enzyme, chemical reactions go much faster than they would without the enzyme.

Enzymes are biological molecules (typically proteins) that significantly speed up the rate of virtually all of the chemical reactions that take place within cells. They are vital for life and serve a wide range of important functions in the body, such as aiding in digestion and metabolism.

Different types of enzymes can break down different nutrients:

amylase and other carbohydrase enzymes break down starch into sugar.

protease enzymes break down proteins into amino acids.

lipase enzymes break down lipids (fats and oils) into fatty acids and glycerol.

As blood moves away from the heart toward the tissues, the relative size of blood vessels ________, the blood pressure ________,

KonstantinChe [14]

<span>As blood moves away from the heart toward the tissues, the relative size of blood vessels decreases, the blood pressure drops, and the velocity of blood flow slows.

The size of the arteries progressively decreases as they branch out from the major arteries of the body. Once the arteries are the size of the arterioles, the resistance to blood flow increases and velocity of blood flow slows then blood pressure drops.

You observe a tiny structure under a microscope.what question would ask and then investigate to determine whether the structure

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The question to be asked an investigated when observing a structure under the microscope to determine whether it is living is if it has a nucleus if eukaryote or nucleoid if prokaryote.

Explanation:

The major organelle that must be present in all living cells is the nucleus or nucleoid and the protoplasm. The observation of the cell under the microscope will show the subcellular entity, nucleus/nucleoid, more pronounced than other organelles in the cell. The nucleus house the necessary information for the maintenance and reproduction, which is mainly the genetic information that dictates the translational protein products that are needed to build another aspect of the cells. Therefore, when such a tiny structure is placed under the light microscope under the view of oil immersion, the nucleus of the cell should be visible if it is a living structure.
