Answer:

Symbiosis is a close relationship between two species in which at least one species benefits. Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit. Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits while the other species is not affected.

What is indicated by two species having similar amino acids in the hemoglobin protein?

Anna71 [15]

Answer: The two species were Rhesus monkey and Human <span>
Hemoglobin protein is the iron containing protein found in the red blood cells which function by transporting oxygen through the blood stream from from the lungs to the tissues and it is important for survival. However, the two species that have similar amino acids in the hemoglobin protein were Rhesus monkey and Human because they were not far from others.</span>

An enzyme was isolated from digestive juices taken from the small intestine. an experiment was set up to test the ability of the

Sergio039 [100]

1. Our results showed that test tube B contained end products of protein digestion, meaning that the isolated enzyme has the ability to break down protein. The end products of protein digestion include small polypeptides, dipeptides, and amino acids. In general, test tube B will contain the building blocks of proteins, which are the amino acids.

2. The two test tubes were placed in a hot water bath at 37oC. This is because the enzyme studied is a human enzyme and it works best at the human body temperature, which is approximately 37oC.
Enzymes are biological catalysts, which means that they accelerate chemical reactions. As a result, an enzyme's activity is greatly affected by temperature. Every enzyme, depending on each function and origin, has a specific range of ideal temperature conditions. If the temperature rises above the maximum accepted, then the enzyme denatures and loses its structure.

3. If the enzyme studied was added in a tube containing starch instead of proteins, then nothing would happen. This is because the enzymes are highly specialized and have very specific actions. It has been proved that this enzyme's activity involves the digestion of proteins.
Starch is a polysaccharide produced by plants, this means that starch is a carbohydrate. Given that starch is not a protein, it will not be digested by the enzyme. An enzyme digesting proteins, will not have any effect on carbohydrates.

4. The smaller molecules which are the result of the digestion happening in the digestive system are absorbed by the human body. More specifically, the products of protein digestion are absorbed by the intestine and then transported into the bloodstream. From the blood, they are then absorbed by other tissues.
After they are absorbed, they are used to build muscles or other compounds which can produce energy.

When is the best time to harvest crops?why?

When is the best time to harvest crops? why?

$\huge \bold \blue{★Answer★}$

Correct timing of harvest is crucial to crop loss prevention. Grain losses may occur caused by rats, birds, lodging, insects, and shattering. Timely harvesting ensures good grain quality and high market value.

Harvesting too early will result in a higher percentage of unfilled or immature grains, which will lower the yield and cause higher grain breakage during milling. Harvesting too late will lead to excessive losses and increased breakage in rice. Harvest time also affects the germination potential of rice seed.

$\huge \mathsf \orange{MORE \: ABOUT :)}$

There are different ways to determine the correct harvest time:

Moisture content

Grain moisture content ideally is between 20−25% (wet basis). Grains should be firm but not brittle when squeezed between the teeth.

Ripe grains per panicle

The crop should be cut when 80−85% of the grains are straw (i.e., yellow-colored).

Number of days after sowing

Generally, the ideal harvest time lies between 130 and 136 days after sowing for late, 113 and 125 for medium, and 110 days for early-maturing varieties.

Number of days after heading

For dry season harvesting, an optimum time is 28 to 35 days after heading. In wet season harvest, optimum time is 32 to 38 days after heading.

Other considerations

Harvesting also needs to be timed so that threshing can be done as soon as possible after cutting to avoid rewetting and to reduce grain breakage.

If the crop has a lot of surface moisture, (e.g. from previous rainfall or early in the morning), it is advisable to wait until the surface moisture dries off.
