Answer:
C. Charged, polar, or non-polar
Explanation:
Amino side chains, also called R groups, are classified into the categories of charged, polar, and non polar.
These classifications can be determined by the structure and elements within the R group/functional group.
Based on the investigation, the inference that can be made about the result is that catalase activity increases with warm temperature.
The liver usually contains an enzyme known as catalase that is capable of breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. The bubbles observed in the beaker during the investigation represent the oxygen being evolved from the breakdown of the hydrogen peroxide by the catalase in the liver sample.
At room temperature, a moderate number of oxygen bubbles were observed. The number of bubbles increased with increased temperature as a result of placing the beaker in a warm water bath. At a lower temperature brought by placing the beaker in an ice water bath, no bubbles were observed.
Thus, we can effectively conclude that the activities of the catalase enzyme in the liver increased with a moderately increased temperature.

Answer
About 10% energy is converted to biomass from one trophic level to another trophic level.
Explanation
Food chain is composed of different trophic level which are classified on the basis of their mood of food obtain. These include
1. Producers (photosynthetic)
2. Primary consumers (herbivore)
3. secondary consumer (Carnivore)
4. Tertiary consumer (carnivore)
5.Quaternary consumer (Carnivore)
6. Decomposer
As larvae are hatched by insects which belong to second trophic level. About 90% of energy in food is lost at each trophic level. As move down the trophic level the number of organism also decreases in each trophic level. Therefore, energy transfer from one trophic level to another is like a pyramid.
Answer:
Explanation:
Meiosis is a form of cell division that occurs in the sex cells of organisms. It ensures the reduction of a diploid cell to an haploid cell to allow for the formation of a diploid zygote after fertilization (contribution of both parents haploid sex cells to give a diploid zygote). Thus, this process is very essential and important.
The reduction is accomplished by 2 divisions after the duplication of chromosomes
- first division: separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes (this reduces the total in half)
- second division: separation of sister chromatids of a chromosome.
The rearrangement in meiosis occurs by crossing over/genetic recombination.
This is the exchange of genetic material between homologous pairs of chromosome bringing about a rearrangement and genetic variation
An example of a chromosomal abnormality that arises as a result of defects in this process is the Down Syndrome which is caused by a nondisjunction of the chromosomes 21 pair in a sex cell.
This condition produces offsprings that have some characteristic facial features, short stature etc
