First, the basic function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a reaction. Most cellular reactions occur about a million times faster than they would in the absence of an enzyme. Second, most enzymes act specifically with only one reactant (called a substrate) to produce products.

List and explain the 4 different types of variables and explain them.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

independent, dependent, control

Explanation:

The independent variable is the variable that you change. For example, if we were growing plants and wanted to see if more sun made them grow higher, you would change the amount of sun that each plant is exposed to.

The dependent variable is what you measure. This <em>depends</em> on the independent variable. So, in our plant experiment, the height of the plant is the dependent variable.

Control. The control is what stays the same. So in our plant experiment, the amount of water, type of plant, type of soil, and all of these things would stay the same to insure that the results are equal.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

<em>B and C.</em>

Explanation:

The epidemiological triangle is an illustration of interaction among suitable hosts, disease agents, and the environment that drives successful outbreak of diseases.

In order to successfully tackle or reduce the incidence of a disease, the triangle has to be broken.

<em>In the case of malaria which is caused by plasmodium but spread through the female anopheles mosquito, one way of breaking the epidemiological triangle is to eliminate female anopheles mosquito in the environment using any possible means. This will stop the spread of the parasite and hence, the disease.</em>

<em>Another way to reduce/prevent malaria is to prevent the vector, female anopheles mosquito from getting to the host, the human populace. This can also be achieved by several possible means.</em>

Relocating the entire village to a neighbouring village might not break the epidemiological triangle as long as female anopheles mosquito still abounds. In the same vein, antibacterial drugs will not help to treat malaria. However, instructing residents on personal protective measures and controlling the vector through chemical larvicides will go a long way in breaking the triangle and reducing the incidence on the malaria disease.

<em>The correct options is B and C.</em>

BRAINLIEST!! According to embryology, why do fish and birds have a common ancestor?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Both fish and bird embryos exhibit gill slits and a tail.

Explanation:

According to embryology, all vertebrates exhibit similar traits and structures at their embryonic stage. It becomes very difficult to differentiate between the embryos of a fish, and that of a bird, or embryo of a fish, and a human. These traits, however, disappear, as the case may be, as the embryo develops into an adult. For example, in the case of the embryo of a fish, and a bird, both shows gills slits at their respective embryonic stage. However, the gill slits in fish develop into gills, whereas in the case of birds, it disappears as the embryo develops into an adult.
