Answer:

The correct answers are: B) Catalase works best at human body temperature, C) Normal human body temperature is 98.6°F, which equals 37°C.

Explanation:

Catalase is an enzyme found in our bodies that has the important task of <u>breaking down hydrogen peroxide</u>, a molecule that is very toxic. For catalase to work at its optimus speed, it need the body to have a temperature of 37° celsius -98.6°F-, which is what we normally call <em>human body temperature</em>. If the temperature rises or falls below body temperature, catalase will still work but at a much slower rate, until it stops working completely.

Not all enzymes work best at human body temperature, some enzymes reach their optimus state at higher or lower temperatures; but it is important to remember that enzymes are proteins, and proteins denaturalize when the temperature becomes to high, making them lose their shape and function.

a. recapitulation

b. altruism

c. universality

d. imagery

Solutions -

Out of the eleven therapeutic factors the one that will be easily recognizable will be the one which will involve some kind of action and interaction or any visible signs. Altruism would affect a person positively and help him/her to gain confidence. This confidence will be visible by the person’s action when he/she will help other people in the group to gain value and significance in the same way as he/she has done.

Hence, option B is correct

Would you withdraw CSF if the needle were accidentally inserted into the epidural space instead of the subarachnoid

castortr0y [4]

Answer: No. You would not withdraw CSF if the needle is in the epidural space.

Explanation: There are 3 spaces that cover the spinal cord, which are epidural, subdural and subarachnoid spaces. The epidural space is the outer most space while the subarachnoid space is the inner most space. CSF flows from the brain where it is produced to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord it flows only in the subarachnoid space. Thus you would not be able to withdraw CSF if the needle is in the epidural space.

A checkered hen mates with a checkered rooster. The genes for the checkered trait are codominant in both parents. What are the c

seropon [69]

Answer:

Option D, 75%

Explanation:

Let the genotype of co dominant checkered hen mates and checkered rooster be CcC and CcC

Where Cc – is the allele for chekered skin

C – is the allele for non chekered skin

Co-dominant allele are those which irrespective of being dominant or recessive are expressed equally.

The punnet square for the cross between these two would be
