Answer:

Explanation:

Sickle-Cell Disease- An inherited blood disorder where red blood cells become sickle/crescent shaped. It is when the body produces red blood cells that are unstable!

As for why areas where malaria is common have high frequencies of the sickle-cell allele, It is believed by some as an example of natural selection at play. An interesting pattern of incidence of sickle cell has been observed in Africa, where malaria is a widely prevalent disease. The relation between sickle cell and anemia gains further ground on the fact, that there is a greater incidence of sickle cell in the African lowland populations, where malaria is severe and widespread than among their highland counterparts. It is believed that sickle cell provides resistance against the malarial parasite.  

(I hope that answers question 1)

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.

Which of the following chemicals opens us binding sites allowing muscle filaments to connect to each other? Select one:
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Explanation:

Calcium plays an important role in muscle contraction as they are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum after they receive electric impulse.

Calcium triggers the muscle contraction cycle as these calcium ions bind to the troponin-tropomyosin complex. This binding exposes the myosin-binding site on the actin on which high energy myosin binds and cross-bridge is formed.

This cross-bridge formation causes the contraction of the sarcomere and therefore muscle contracts.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
