Answer:

Most peroxidases are ferric heme proteins; one notable exception being the glutathione peroxidase, which is a selenium-containing enzyme. They are present in virtually all living species.

Protein has many roles in your body. It helps repair and build your body's tissues, allows metabolic reactions to take place and coordinates bodily functions. In addition to providing your body with a structural framework, proteins also maintain proper pH and fluid balance.

An apartment complex has a floor plan with the dimensions shown. To effectively air condition a room, 20BTU's (British Thermal U
marysya [2.9K]

The dimensions of the room is not given. Lets assume a value and calculate BTU accordingly.

Answer and Explanation:

BTU, or British Thermal Unit, is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1° F.

In other words,BTU's measures the amount of heat an AC (or any other cooling unit) can remove from a room per hour. Higher the BTU, the more powerful the cooling.

Calculation:

Lets assume that a room is 10 feet wide and 14 feet long.

  • Step 1

Calculate the size of the room by multiplying the height of the room with its width:

size of the room= 10 × 14

                          = 140 square feet

  • Step 2

Then multiply the size of the room that you obtained in step 1 with 20 BTU per square foot, in order to get the minimum BTU's required for AC to cool a room,

140 × 20= 2800

 2800 BTU cooling capacity is required.
