Complete the sentence choosing from the following words:

Biology
1 answer:
denis23 [38]3 years ago
8 0

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.

love history [14]

Answer:

The sentence that says: Blood PO2 affects respiration only indirectly, IT IS FALSE, since the partial pressure of oxygen gas together with carbon dioxide are factors that DIRECTLY affect respiration.

The sentence that says: Unselected changes in arterial pH as a result of CO2 retention or metabolic factors act through peripheral chemoreceptors. It is FALSE, since the central chemoreceptors together with the peripheral ones can detect the metabolic acidosis generated by the CO2 retention, this is how the CNS receptors capture the CO2 that crosses the blood-brain barrier and stimulates hyperventilation to compensate for this phenomenon and increase the plasma concentrations of partial oxygen pressures.

The sentence that says: in selecting When arterial PO2 falls below 60 mm Hg, it becomes the main stimulus for breathing, IT IS FALSE, since it not only encourages ventilation to promote oxygenation but also activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone in order to recover blood volume and thus achieve adequate blood pressure.

In addition, hypovolemia triggers tachycardia and weakening symptoms, which is why the drop in blood pressure is not the main stimulus for breathing.

Explanation:

Breathing is promoted by muscle contraction, medium and high temperatures (that is, in hot or hot climates), partial concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide both in the atmosphere and in our blood, and in situations of systemic imbalances such as metabolic acidosis or alkalosis.

Which hormone is responsible for controlling sperm production?
aniked [119]

Answer:

The most important hormone involved in controlling sperm production is a steroid called testosterone. This is produced in the testis itself, by the Leydig cells (see Figure 12a). The testosterone is released from the Leydig cells between the tubules, and taken up by the neighbouring Sertoli cells.
