What is the biological significance of the temperature at which the amylase
kati45 [8]

Answer & explanation:

Amylase is part of enzymes, a group of large peptide molecules (formed by amino acids) whose role is to catalyze reactions in order to facilitate the synthesis of other biological molecules.

Amylase is found mainly in saliva (in the form of salivary amylase, or ptialin), acting in the breakdown of starch and glycogen in foods, reducing them to smaller particles, facilitating their digestion and absorption.

The action of enzymes depends on certain specific conditions, called optimal conditions. In the case of <u>amylase</u>, it depends on an optimum pH of 7 (neutral) and an optimum temperature of approximately 37 ° C.

This enzyme can still act between 35 ° C and 40 ° C, but below 35 ° C it is inactivated, preventing its functions from being performed, and above 40 ° C it suffers denaturation, causing changes in its structures.

Thus, it is concluded that the <u>temperature</u> (under optimal conditions) is important for enzymes because it keeps their actions and structures in proper operation.

A volcano forms in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Over time, the lava hardens, and the volcano becomes dormant. The result is
Umnica [9.8K]

1. Once the described volcanic island forms, initially its environment will not be suitable for life for most of the organisms. The island will be barren, with hard igneous rocks dominating the landscape. There will be no soil, thus no conditions for any larger plants to develop, yet alone animals. The temperature on the island will be higher because the ground will have no protective cover by vegetation, and the winds will be stronger because they will have no obstacle on the surface.

2. After the formation of the island, despite having an environment that doesn't offer proper living conditions, there will be few species of plants that will move in. The island will get into the phase of first succession. Plants like the mosses and lichens will start to cover the island and dominate the landscape, as these plants don't require soil, just enough warmth, sunlight, and moisture. These plants will set the basis for the next successions on the island.

3. There are two major successions that occur in a new environment, primary and secondary succession. The primary succession is the one when the first organisms move in in the new and empty environment. Usually it is organisms like the mosses as they don't require much to survive. The biomass from the first plants like the mosses will contribute to the formation of soil, thus setting the basis for the secondary succession. Once the soil starts forming larger plants will start to grow, such as the grasses, shrubs, and eventually trees, and once they grow lot of species of animals will move in as well, thus creating a new and rich ecosystem.

4. The immigration of the organisms to the new environment will be possible in multiple ways. The water and wind are able to move lot of organisms from one place to another, including the seeds and spores of the plants, as well as smaller animals. When there will be conditions good enough, some animals will move in by using flight, mostly birds.

A source of emf is connected by wires to a resistor, and electrons flow in the circuit. The wire diameter is the same throughout
Ivenika [448]

After leaving the source of emf, an electron's potential energy is lower.

<h3>Describe electromotive force.</h3>

The voltage or potential difference of a battery or other electrical energy source is known as the electromotive force. A resistor is where the emf is coming from. The potential energy of an electron will now be higher than the potential energy of an electron before it leaves the source emf.

Now, the potential energy of an electron before leaving the source of electric current will be greater than the potential energy of an electron after leaving the source of electric current because the resistor connected to the source of electric current will reduce the potential energy by converting some of the energy to heat.

Energy created by the flow of electrons through conductor
Evgesh-ka [11]

Electrical energy

Explanation:

Electrical energy is the energy created by the flow of electrons through conductors.

The movement of electrons in conductor generates electricity.

  • Electronic movement in electrochemical cells also produces electrical energy.
  • Current flows in opposite direction to the flow of electrons.
  • The electromotive force of cell provides the driving force for the current in a cell.
