Testosterone oxi-reductase is a liver enzyme that regulates testosterone levels in alligators. one study compared testosterone o

xido-reductase activity between male and female alligators from lake woodruff, a relatively pristine enviroment, and from lake apopka, an area that has suffered severe contamination. the graph above depicts that finding of the study. the data in the graph best supports which of the following claims?Environmental contamination reduces total testosterone oxido-reductase activity in females.

Explanation:

Environmental contamination reduces total testosterone oxido-reductase activity in females.- <u>True</u>

Enzymes are proteins which catalyze reactions by acting on substrates in order to speed up reactions- like the breakdown of large polysaccharides by amylase. Here, the enzyme testosterone oxi-reductase facilitates the of testosterone to the androgen DHT. Enzyme specificity is affected by pH, temperature and the presence of inhibitors.

In temperatures beyond its optimal range, these may undergo changes to its physical structure called denaturation; when denatured, enzymes lose their ability to bind specifically to their substrate -i.e. substrate binding specificity is lost. Testosterone would no longer be able to bind to the active site, and thus would not be converted.

If the cytoplasm of a cell is at ph 7, and the mitochondrial matrix is at ph 8, then the concentration of h+ ions _____. if the
GrogVix [38]

The answer is 10 times higher in the cytoplasm than in the mitochondrial matrix

pH is usually calculated by the negative log of the H+ ions in a solution. The H+ ions are calculated in mols/Liter; Therefore a solute with a higher concentration of hydrogen ions has a lower pH. The difference between one pH to the next is 10 times fold the number of H+ ions.

[H+]= mol/L.

pH=−<span>log[H+</span>]

Suppose a team of researchers sequences the genome and measures the proteome of a human skin cell and a human kidney cell. Will
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

There will be a huge difference in terms of size because a genome only consist of genes that code proteins while a proteome contains the whole map of all the proteins that’ll arise from a single gene. For example, a skin cell genome is same as other somatic cell genome while a kidney cell proteome contains proteins like Angiotensin, Tomm – Horfall protein etc. All of these proteins may have risen from a single gene that’ll ultimately make the proteome of kidney cells a number of times larger than that of genome of skin cells.

If you're asking about the genome only then remember there is no difference between the genome of somatic cells but a proteome always differs as the cell type changes.
