Which of the following does NOT effect the rate of enzyme reaction?
chubhunter [2.5K]

From the options that factor that does not effect the rate of enzyme reaction is : ( D ) Amount of product.

Enzymes are substances found in organisms that catalyzes the rate of chemical reaction occurring in an organism. during the chemical reaction the enzyme remains intact and is not utilized during the process.  

Some of the process that may Inhibit the performance of an enzyme(s) includes ;

  • pH ,
  • The substrate concentration,
  • Temperature and
  • The concentration of the enzyme.  

The amount of the product does not affect the performance rate of the enzyme because enzymes functions in chemical reactions and not physical reactions

Hence we can conclude that the factor that does not effect the rate of enzyme reaction is the  Amount of product

According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, which of the following is true of children in the concrete operational st
Anika [276]

Answer:

A. They center on the motives of wrongdoers as well as on the amount of damage done when assigning blame.

Explanation:

The Concrete Operational Stage, according to Piaget, refers to a stage that begins around age 7 and ends around the ages of 11 or 13.

During this stage, children are now capable of thinking in a more logical manner and their moral judgement has become subjective as <u>they now center on the motives of wrongdoers as well as on the amount of damage done when assigning blame</u>. For instance, they are able to judge another child according to the amount of damage she/he has done and whether it was done in purpose or accidentally.

They can also center on two dimensions of a problem at once and have thoughts that involve tangible objects instead of abstract ideas.

A farmer wanted to rid his apple trees of a particular leaf-eating insect. he sprayed his trees with an insecticide that killed
marta [7]
The survival of the 2 percent of the population is due to the presence of a gene obtained from other species. This gene must be responsible for developing resistance in the insects, against the insecticide that was used by the farmer. The gene got incorporated in only 2% of the insects and therefore, they survived and rest of them were susceptible to the insecticide and thus, died.

Olympic athletes train in Colorado Springs, Colorado because this location is at high altitude and near the 14,000 foot Pikes Pe
Stels [109]

Answer:

A: Oxygen levels are low and, therefore, more red blood cells are produced, giving the athletes an advantage when competing at lower altitudes.

Explanation:

<em>At high altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen is lower compared to lower altitudes</em>. The body system try to adjust to lower oxygen level by undergoing several physiological changes. Depending on the duration spent in high altitude, the body can either try to adjust in the short term or acclimatize for a longer term.

One of the processes the body undergoes during acclimatization is an increase in red blood cell production. The kidney secretes erythropotein in response to inadequate oxygen in body tissues, and this makes the liver to increase erythrocyte production.

The increase in red blood cell production correspondingly increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as a result of increased hemoglobin. This condition persists for a few weeks even after the body returns to lower altitude where oxygen is adequate. Increased oxygen capacity means the rate of energy production (through respiration) within the body will also increase

<em>Hence, those who acclimatize to high altitude usually experience increased capillary density, tissue perfusion and improved athletic performance at lower altitudes. </em>

The correct option is A.
