1 answer:
denis23 [38]3 years ago

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.

Write a paragraph 4-5 sentences as to which one you think is better sexual or asexual reproduction
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Asexual

Explanation:

I think Asexual reproduction is better because you only need one reproduction Creature. For example plants, they are asexual so they do not need to worry about mating. Instead they can just create more plants by doing nothing. This helps us because we get more plants in a shorter amount of time. another example of Asexual reproduction is cross-pollination which is also an amazing way of creating more plants in a shorter time.

Unicellular protists with two flagella that are photosynthetic and cause red tides are called
worty [1.4K]

<span>C dinoflagellates

</span><span><span>A flagella (or flagellum plural) is a long strand like structure that is located in the front end part (more like a tail in front). It flips to the left and right in order for the organism to move. It is connected to the reservoir, which contains the storage of food for the organism.<span>

</span></span>These unicellular organisms are responsible for breaking down materials in the earth. They assist with the decomposition of the dead and decaying matter that can be found on the earth's surface. This break down also makes up natural fertiliser for the plants which then grow up fertilised. These unicellular organisms are also an essential part of the nitrogen cycle. They change the nitrogen from the environment and turn them into absorbable nitrates for the plants, which is an essential part of the plants' food.
