Answer:

1. Soluble

2. Catalyze

3. Denatured

Explanation:

1. We eat in order to obtain energy. However, this food is often in a complex state and needs to be broken down into its simplest form. The process of digestion ensures this occurs in living organisms. Digestion is the process of breaking down large food molecules into a much more simpler molecule that can be passed on to the blood stream for absorption by cells. These simpler molecules must be SOLUBLE in water for them to be transported into each cell via the bloodstream.

2. The breaking down of food molecules described above is facilitated by certain proteinous chemical agents called ENZYMES. Enzymes are biological catalysts i.e. they help speeden up the rate of biochemical reactions in living systems. In the case of digestion, specific enzymes chemically acts on specific food molecules. For example, amylase acts on carbohydrates, protease acts on proteins etc.

3. As stated above that enzymes are proteinous, it means they possess the characteristics of proteins. One of those characteristics is the ability to get denatured by increase in temperature. High temperature causes an enzyme to lose its specific 3D shape, affecting its functionality. Hence, the enzyme is said to be DENATURED.

Which is not one of darwin's four main ideas of natural selection?

tiny-mole [99]

The answer is letter A. evolution always improves organisms. Darwin did not state this idea because he observed that even if evolution happened to species, there were some species that failed to adopt on the new environment. The other choices are his ideas of natural selection which states that an organism can survive if it has heritable traits that can adopt with the environment.

What term is used to refer to the process in which dna can be introduced into host bacterial cells?

Anna71 [15]

There are three ways in which exogenous dna can be introduced into a bacterial genome. These are; transduction, transformation and conjugation. Transduction is the introduction of exogenous material into bacteria by viruses; conjugation is exchange of genetic material between bacteria sexual through reproduction; while transformation is uptake of exogenous dna by bacteria, from its surrounding, through the bacterial membrane.
