Answer:

When hydrogen peroxide is added to a chicken liver sample exposed to lemon juice the chemical reaction will be slower and appear some bubbles within the first minute (option B).

Explanation:

The liver contains an enzyme called catalase, whose function is the degradation of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), an intense reaction that produces gas and heat. <u>The activity of this enzyme must occur at an appropriate pH, so changes in pH can affect the activity of catalase</u>.

  • Under normal conditions, when a liver sample is exposed to H₂O₂, bubbles and foam appear in the sample as a result of the catalase reaction.
  • When the chicken liver sample is subjected to the acidic lemon juice, the reaction will occur, but more slowly.

This is because the activity of the catalase enzyme, present in the liver, continues to occur —although it decreases— and will form few bubbles over a longer period of time.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     A. At a lower pH, the reaction will not form many bubbles. </em>

<em>     C. Even if the reaction is minor, and produces very few enzymes, it will always occur. </em>

<em>     D. Although the catalase/H2O2 reaction produces heat, it is impossible for the liver to catch fire and cause evacuation from the school, even less so with a reaction whose speed has been slowed down.</em>

Which sentence represents a hypothesis? environmental conditions affect the pollination of plants. boil 100 milliliters of water
schepotkina [342]

The best answer for this question would be:

 

environmental conditions affect the pollination of plants.

 

Because it depicts the starting information or theory that the researcher is stating. His theory is that the conditions of the plant will affect the plant, and therefore experiments on the procedure to prove his theory.<span> </span>

Many people place bat boxes on their property to provide housing that attracts insect -eating bats. Explain how this activity ha
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Bat boxes at homes provide housing to insect-eating bats which has two major positive effects on the environment:

  • Bat boxes provide bats a natural habitat and they act as natural pest control in the environment. They are very helpful for reducing or controlling the population of mosquito and balance the food chain in the environment.
  • Bat is known as very good pollinators which helps in the pollination of flowers or spread their seeds. So bat boxes at home increase pollination in nearby areas and increase biodiversity in the environment.

Hence, bat boxes at houses have a positive effect on the environment.

Drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages increases urine output more than drinking an equivalent amount of water.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

A) ADH secretion decreases. B) Urine osmolarity decreases.

Explanation:

Antidiuretic Hormone or ADH is responsible for the reabsorption of water through the kidneys.

A) Drinking alcoholic and/or caffeinated beverages decreases the release and effect of ADH so the water does not get absorbed as much as it should, which in turn results in more urination.

B) Osmolarity is a term used to express the concentration of a solution in terms of a certain particle. Since less ADH secretion results in more water being in the urine, this lowers the concentration of the urine. So urine osmolarity would be decreased.

I hope this answer helps.

sodium, chloride, and potassium in cells and body fluids are examples of: question 54 options: phytates. electrolytes. condensat
Troyanec [42]

(b) electrolytes are what sodium, chloride, and potassium in cells and body fluids are examples of.

When dissolved in water or bodily fluids, a substance called an electrolyte separates into ions (particles having electrical charges). The ions sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, and phosphate are only a few examples.

The many electrolytes include sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride, phosphate, and magnesium. They come from the meals you consume and the liquids you drink.

Your body's electrolyte levels might get too high or too low. When your body's water balance changes, this may occur. The amount of water you consume and lose should be equal. If something throws off this equilibrium, you can be dehydrated or have too much water on your body (overhydration).
