<h2>The correct answer is: Endocrine system.</h2>

Explanation:

The Endocrine system is comprised of a number of glands which synthesize and secrete bio-chemical signals directly into the blood stream.
These bio-chemical signals are made of peptides, proteins or steroids and are called Hormones.
These hormones act on the target organs or tissues which are usually located far away from the site of production or synthesis of the hormone.
They can act on only those organs which have the receptors capable of recognizing the hormone.
They are responsible for regulating growth, development, metabolism, reproduction, sleep and other short and long term activities in the body.
Their production and synthesis is highly regulated and small quantities of these chemical messages are capable of bringing about drastic response in the cells, tissue, organs or the whole body.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The answer is a heme cofactor.

Explanation:

Peroxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes oxidation/reduction reaction by using hydrogen peroxide as a substrate.

Donor+H2O2 ↔ Oxidized donor + H2O

Peroxidase active site can contain a heme cofactor that has an iron ion and a porphyrin molecule that acts as an electron donor to the hydrogen peroxide which is then reduced to water.

Which attributes would allow a cell to be larger?

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Perfectly cube - shaped

Explanation:

If the shape of a cell is perfectly cube- shape then its volume must be calculated with an equation:

Height×Width×number of sides and number of boxes

Surface= area of volume ratio is calculated with an equation

Area /volume

if a cell has large surface area to volume into ratio means it has greater exposure to the environment.It means that flow of nutrients and gases move freely in the small cell compared to large cell.

A student is considering adding Egeria densa, an aquatic plant, to her freshwater tank. She is concerned about the effects of pH

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Egeria densa is an aquatic plant which has developed different means of carrying out photosynthesis under conditions of low carbon dioxide. During the process, the plant generate low pH at the leaf surface during high light intensity and this acidification shift the process equilibrium towards carbon dioxide which will then diffuse into the cell through passive diffusion.
Thus, if the student place the plant inside her fresh water tank, the plant will increase the carbon dioxide content of the water, which will lead to an increase in pH and the increase in pH will negatively affect the fish.
