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.
Answer:
2 & 4
Explanation:
The theory of spontaneous generation stipulated that life emanated spontaneously from ‘nothing’. This was believed to be true until Francesco Redi & Luis Pasteur later falsified this theory using an experiment. He had two plates of cooked meat. He covered one with a glass bowl and left the other open. The plate with a bowl did not develop maggots while the open one did. This showed that maggot was as a result of hatched eggs that were deposited by flies. Life, therefore, emanates from life.
C:<span>Cellulose is the primary structural carbohydrate found in plant cell walls. Only a few animals have a limited ability to digest cellulose. However, </span>the fiber in the structural carbohydrates stimulates the animals' digestive systems<span>, so stools stay softer and move more quickly through the intestinal tract. This helps to prevent constipation and encourages regular defecation.</span>
Answer:
Bioluminescence
Explanation:
In the deep oceans, the sea cucumbers and polychaete worms use the bioluminescence for defense against predators and to find or attract prey by glowing so the predator can easily see it's glowing skin.
