Answer:

Individuals are often characterized as “tasters” or “non-tasters” of PTC, but there is some variability amongst tasters in how much bitterness they can detect. ... The ability to taste PTC is due changes in the TAS2R38 gene that affects the function of bitter taste receptors on the tongue.

Above 380C and below OoC the rate of photosynthesis decreases. Propose a hypothesis to explain why this occurs.
Effectus [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Enzyme activity decrease at these temperatures. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Photosynthesis is facilitated by the action of various enzymes and involves light and dark reactions.  In <em>light reactions chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and creates ATP AND NADPH</em>. In dark reactions carbon is fixed using the <em>ATP and NADPH. </em>

The efficiency of all these activities depends on the activity of enzymes which depends on the temperature. The optimum temperature range where the enzyme activity is optimal is about <em>10°c - 20°c</em>. At low temperatures and high temperatures enzyme activity is less efficient.

<em>At a temperature above 38°c and below  0°c enzyme activity decreases. </em>

During respiration, members of the animal kingdom use ______ and then release ______ as a waste gas
raketka [301]

During respiration, members of the animal kingdom use oxygen and then release carbon dioxide as a waste gas.

Members of the animal kingdom have a respiratory system that is composed of muscles, and airways that functions together to transport air into lungs, and the oxygen is used by cells. Carbon dioxide is also transported away from the cells as a waste gas. Respiration relies on other systems, such as the circulatory system, to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from cells.
