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.

1. What kinds of evidence can be used to show that a supercontinent once existed?
Fed [463]

1. the continents seemed to be put together like a jigsaw puzzle also the evidence of tectonic plates moving in our crust

2. Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents sift position on earth's surface

3. one of the issues with the theory that geologist at the time had, was that Wegener was not a geologist. He was publishing a theory that wasn't associated with his field of science. The other issue the geologists had was based on the commonly held opinion

4. Continents move about the earth like huge ships at sea, floating on pieces of the earth's outer skin, or crust. New crust is created as melted rock pushes up from inside the planet. Old crust is destroyed as it moves toward the hot rock and melts.
