Explanation:

Red-shift

Emission spectra

Light from a star does not contain all the wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. Elements in the star absorb some of the emitted wavelengths, so dark lines are present when the spectrum is analysed. Different elements produce different patterns of dark lines. The diagram shows part of the emission spectrum of light from the Sun.

A gradient colour spectrum of the sun.

Spectra from distant galaxies

Astronomers can observe light from distant galaxies. When they do this, they see it is different to the light from the Sun. The dark lines in the spectra from distant galaxies show an increase in wavelength. The lines are moved or shifted towards the red end of the spectrum. This effect is called red-shift. The diagram shows part of the emission spectrum of light from a distant galaxy.

A gradient colour spectrum of a distant star.

Red-shift and speed

Astronomers see red-shift in virtually all galaxies. It is a result of the space between the Earth and the galaxies expanding. This expansion stretches out the light waves during their journey to us, shifting them towards the red end of the spectrum. The more red-shifted the light from a galaxy is, the faster the galaxy is moving away from Earth

Freshwater is defined as having a low _______ concentration, usually less than 1%.
vampirchik [111]

Answer: salt

Freshwater is defined as having a low salt concentration, usually less than 1%.

Explanation:

Freshwater refers to the bodies of water that contain very low levels of dissolved salts. So, freshwater are unique for their low salt content (about 0.5% of salt) compared to the sea water with high salt content.

Examples of freshwater include rivers and spring

According to most scientists, green algae are the ancestors of plants. Which statement best supports that belief? A) both have c
Tresset [83]

The statement that best supports that belief is “both have cell wall made of cellulose, store food material as starch, and have chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b”.

 

The green algae are a large, informal grouping of algae consisting of the Chlorophyte and Charophyte algae, which are now placed in separate Divisions. The land plants or Embryophytes are thought to have emerged from the Charophytes.

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the first choice or letter A. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Assuming no genetic recombination, how many genetically distinct types of gametes can a single human being make?
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Each chromosome represents a twin.like pairs of socks.

This is an analogous problem: you have 2 pairs of socks, one white, one black. Each of the sock is tailored to a specic foot, right or left. How many different ways can the socks be mixed and matched , one for each foot?

Here are the possibilities : left = black, right = black is one such match. Left = white, right = black is another.

so also we will have 23 chromosome pairs

An enzyme contains a catalytic histidine residue in its active site that must release an R group proton to solution in order to
hjlf

Options missing:

a) The pH of the environment should be relatively high.

b) The pH of the environment should be relatively low.

c) The pH of the environment would not matter.

d) The environment should be set to the biochemical standard state.

Answer:

a) The pH of the environment should be relatively high.

Explanation:

For optimal function an enzyme needs a certain environment or condition. As temperature increases, the rate of enzyme activity also increases. As temperature increases toward its optimum point of 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 F), hydrogen bonds relax and make it easier for the hydrogen peroxide molecules to bind to the catalase.

The part of the enzyme where this reaction takes place is called the active site. A temperature that is higher or lower than this optimum point changes the shape of the active site and stops the enzyme from working. This process is called denaturation.

Enzyme pH levels also change the shape of the active site and affect the rate of enzyme activity. Each enzyme has its own optimal range of pH in which it works most effectively. In humans, catalase works only between pH 7 and pH 11. If the pH level is lower than 7 or higher than 11, the enzyme becomes denaturated and loses its structure. The liver sustains a neutral pH of about 7, which creates the best environment for catalase and other enzymes.

General acid catalysis would require histidine to be protonated at pH values (pH 8.0) optimal for enzymatic activity which is relatively high.
