<span>The answer is columnar epithelium. This type of epithelium with tall columnar cells is adapted for absorption and is also protective. The epithelium of the proximal convoluted tubule has microvilli that increase the surface area for reabsorption of water and minerals back into the bloodstream.  </span>

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The most likely explanation for the truncated polypeptide -due to the substitution of cytosine for adenine- is that mutation introduced a stop codon in the middle of the gene.

Explanation:

A codon consists of three nucleotides -in the RNA chain- whose order determines a specific amino acid. Not all codons code for amino acids, as there are termination codons, also called stop codons, which are UAG, UGA and UAA.

If in Manny's computer model, the substitution of cytosine by adenine produced a termination codon, the synthesis of a peptide is stopped prematurely resulting in a truncated peptide.

<span>This is avoidance conditioning. Brenda has been able to successfully link the over-the-counter heartburn medicine to an avoidance of discomfort. By taking the pill, she has received a negative reinforcement due to the removal of the indigestion. The reinforcement will likely lead to Brenda continuing to take the medicine until she habituates to it and does not receive the same benefit(s).</span>

When testing the temperature of catalase, why did the enzyme catalase work best at 37°C? (Select all that apply.)
mojhsa [17]

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.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

-During citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle, radioactive carbon will be first appear in citric acid

Explanation:

During cellular respiration, glucose is first converted into pyruvate molecules by the process of glycolysis. These pyruvate molecules go for oxidative decarboxylation, during which acetyl co-enzyme A (acetyl CoA) is formed along with removal of carbon dioxide.

The acetyl co-enzyme enters to the next step in cellular respiration or citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle. The first step of citric acid cycle is formation of citric acid by joining of acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate.

As citric acid is first molecule formed during citric acid cycle, radioactive carbon would be first appear in citric acid.
