A measure of the number of particles of a substance in a given volume would be concentration. <span>In chemistry, </span>concentration<span> is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. There are a number of ways expressing it such as molarity, molality, normality, ppm, percentage and the like.</span>
1. Our results showed that test tube B contained end products of protein digestion, meaning that the isolated enzyme has the ability to break down protein. The end products of protein digestion include small polypeptides, dipeptides, and amino acids. In general, test tube B will contain the building blocks of proteins, which are the amino acids.
2. The two test tubes were placed in a hot water bath at 37oC. This is because the enzyme studied is a human enzyme and it works best at the human body temperature, which is approximately 37oC.
Enzymes are biological catalysts, which means that they accelerate chemical reactions. As a result, an enzyme's activity is greatly affected by temperature. Every enzyme, depending on each function and origin, has a specific range of ideal temperature conditions. If the temperature rises above the maximum accepted, then the enzyme denatures and loses its structure.
3. If the enzyme studied was added in a tube containing starch instead of proteins, then nothing would happen. This is because the enzymes are highly specialized and have very specific actions. It has been proved that this enzyme's activity involves the digestion of proteins.
Starch is a polysaccharide produced by plants, this means that starch is a carbohydrate. Given that starch is not a protein, it will not be digested by the enzyme. An enzyme digesting proteins, will not have any effect on carbohydrates.
4. The smaller molecules which are the result of the digestion happening in the digestive system are absorbed by the human body. More specifically, the products of protein digestion are absorbed by the intestine and then transported into the bloodstream. From the blood, they are then absorbed by other tissues.
After they are absorbed, they are used to build muscles or other compounds which can produce energy.

Answer: 2,000 miles.
Explanation:
The Aleutian Trench, which has formed along the convergent boundary and has been produced by the subduction of the oceanic plate, extends for 2,000 miles.
Answer:
25%
Explanation:
We have 2 independent genes with 2 alleles each: L/l and W/w
- W_: whiskers
- ww: no whiskers
- L_: long whiskers
- ll: short wiskers
Individuals with short whiskers will have the genotype <em>WWll </em>or <em>Wwll</em>.
<u>A cross between a rat heterozygous for both genes and a homozygous recessive rat is done:</u>
<h3>WwLl x wwll</h3>
-The homozygous rat will produce only <em>wl </em>gametes.
-The heterozygous rat will produce the following gametes: <em>WL</em>, <em>Wl</em>, <em>wL</em>, <em>wl</em>.
If you do a Punnett Square, you'll get that 25% of the offspring will be WwLl and will have short whiskers.
