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.

The brain structure that controls unconscious but essential functions such as breathing and circulation is the
SOVA2 [1]

The correct answer is medulla oblongata.

Medulla oblongata is the part of the central nervous system. It is the structure which continiues to spinal cord and represents the lowest part of the brainstem. Function of medulla oblongata is to control involuntary, autonomic functions. It contains centers for the heart and lungs, thus it regulates functions of breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.

What can you learn from observing and comparing specific physical traits of different birds?
sergejj [24]
<span> There are so many different types that come to eat and as I watch them I notice that some of the finches look very much alike but are different breeds. You can look at the shape of a bird's body, wingspan, colors especially and markings and determine the type of bird, if it is native to your area or visiting, if it is male or female. I have a bird book I like to use, it's called, wild birds of north America. It has tons of color photos and info. If you want to draw lots of interesting birds, try a thistle feeder instead of mixed wild bird seed. This will draw in the finches and other colorful small birds that you don't see flying around that often.</span>
