Certain environmental changes can denature proteins. Denatured proteins lose their three dimensional structure and when the prot

ein is an enzyme, they lose their ability to function. pH is just one factor that can change the effectiveness of an enzyme. What other factor might the students test regarding catalase specificity?
A) Students could test various other enzymes to see if all enzymes were denatured in a basic environment (pH = 13).
B) After determining the optimum pH, they could vary the temperature of the environment to see if catalase is temperature specific.
C) After determining the optimum pH, the students could vary the amount of catalase used while keeping the amount of substrate constant.
D) Students could test an assortment of food items besides liver, raw potato, apple, crackers, to see if catalase is consistently pH specific.

Answer:

B

Explination:

After determining the optimum pH, they could vary the temperature of the environment to see if catalase is temperature specific. Proteins can be denatured through exposure to heat, changes in pH, or chemicals. Students could vary the temperature of the liver, even boil it, to see if enzyme action continued.

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.

Which description best fits the activity of a cell during interphase?
sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) The cell carries on metabolism.</em>

Explanation:

Interphase can be described as the phase of cell cycle in which the cell spends most of its time. In this phase, the cell carries out its normal metabolic functions and prepares it self for division. The phase of interphase is divided into three parts which are the Gap 1, Synthesis, and Gap 2. Hence, the correct option is A.

Other options, like option C, is not correct because the cell splits into two during cytokinesis.

What behavioural adaptation does a desert fox have to help it survive in hot places
SIZIF [17.4K]
1. Their large ears help dissipate excess body heat on hot days in the desert. 2. The fennec fox seems to be the only carnivore living in the Sahara Desert able to survive without free water. Their kidneys are adapted to restrict water loss, their extensive burrowing may cause the formation of dew, which can then be consumed, and they will receive moisture from the food that they eat. 3. Their burrowing and nocturnal lifestyle helps restrict water loss. 4. Their thick fur helps insulate them from the cold desert nights. 5. Their sandy fur helps to reflect heat, and also provides excellent camouflage. 6. Fennec foxes also have thick fur on the soles of their feet, which insulate against the hot sand of the desert. This extra fur on the soles of their feet also affords them excellent traction in the loose sand.

What process occurs after a forest fire wipes out an entire ecosystem? What is this process called? What are the steps of this p
ad-work [718]
The secondary succession is triggered by a natural event (forest fires for example) that destroys an established ecosystem. The destroyed forest will then undergo a regrowth process. This secondary growth may look bizarrely different from the way how the original forest used to look like. There are several stages involved after the forest os being burned. The first stage involves the colonization of massively burned places by plants and fungi. The following stage starts when minuscule plants such as grasses dwell in the forest. And then, huge plants that require lots of direct sunlight will move in. Lastly, new trees will continuously grow up to a point where they makeup a forest that remains in time except there are major interventions.
