Catalase is an enzyme which is produced naturally in almost all organisms. This enzyme helps the body to break down hydrogen peroxide (a harmful oxidizing agent) into water and oxygen, it can also prevent the accumulation of CO2 bubbles in the blood. With only one catalase, millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules are converted.
The evolution of organisms always benefits characteristics that are useful to survive and this powerful enzyme represents exactly that.

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The evolution of vascular tissues in plants from non-vascular plants was an adaptive feature to survive in the terrestrial environment.  The group of plants in which vascular tissues evolved and developed is the Pteridophytes which contained stellar organization of the vascular bundles.

The pteridophytes exhibited xylem and phloem which allows the rapid uptake of the water and nutrients from the soil which allowed the growth of the plant and since plants got enough water and nutrients from the soil, they adapted to grow tall so that they can maximize the output of photosynthesis in bright sunshine.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Which describes the modern classification system?
Feliz [49]
The question must refer to the modern classification system in biology.

It started with the work of Linnaeus - so its early version can be called a Linnaean classification - but right now it has been expanded and changed to fit the evolutionary relationships between the species - which is the best description, i.e. the answer is "it is based on the evolutionary relationship of the species"

A postsynaptic potential is a graded potential that is the result of a neurotransmitter released into the synapse between two ne
Ksju [112]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated  or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.

For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.
