Answer: pH 5 Acidic environment.

Explanation:

The fungi grows best in the acidic environment, this is because the fungi grows in a moist, warm and darker environment.

The fungus grows at lower pH. When the fungal species was grown in the laboratory conditions then under low pH, the fungal species grow more properly.

Hence, the best environment for the growth of fungus is pH 5.

Answer:

The correct answer is b. 5

Explanation:

Fungus are more likely to grow at low pH and so they love acidic environment to grow and live. The organisms who love to grow in an acidic environment are called acidophiles.

The optimum pH at which fungi like to grow is between 5 to 6. Fungi growth condition is different from most of the microorganisms because micro-organisms tend to grow well at and above pH 7. So bacteria basically like alkaline environment to live.

When pH decreases from 7 to 5 the growth of fungus in increased by many folds which shows that fungus like to grow at low pH. Therefore the correct answer is b. 5

1. Which of the following supports the theory that all modern human populations are descended from a single ancestral population
Trava [24]

Answer:

a. Comparative molecular studies trace our earliest genetic material to Africa

Explanation:

With the development of the genetics we have been able to come to new findings or confirm some suspicions when it comes to the origin of the humans. The genetic analyses of the human DNA and the other hominids that have died out, as well as out closest ''cousins'' in the animal kingdom, have shown that the earliest human ancestors have evolved in Africa. Over time, as the conditions allowed it, the hominids started to migrate out of Africa and gradually started to settle all around the planet.

A (n) inhibitor has a structure that is so similar to the substrate that it can bond to the enzyme just like the substrate. 2. a
Studentka2010 [4]
The answers are as follows:
1. <span>An inhibitor has a structure that is so similar to the substrate that it can bond to the enzyme just like the substrate: t</span>his is called competitive inhibitor. A competitive inhibitor will compete with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme and bind to the active site, thus incapacitating the substrate from binding to the active site.
2.  An inhibitor binds to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site: this is called non competitive inhibitors. Non competitive inhibitors bind to other site in the enzyme which is not the active site of the enzyme. The binding of the inhibitor changes the conformation of the enzyme as well as the active site, thus making it impossible for the substrate to bind to the enzyme effectively.
3. <span>usually, a(n) inhibitor forms a covalent bond with an amino acid side group within the active site, which prevents the substrate from entering the active site or prevents catalytic activity: this is called irreversible or permanent inhibition. Permanent inhibitors form covalent bonds with the enzyme and prevent substrate from binding to the enzyme.
4. T</span><span>he competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the ACTIVE SITE on the enzyme: The active site of an enzyme is the place where the substrate normally bind in order to activate a enzyme. Competitive inhibitors are those inhibitors that compete with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme and prevent the substrate from binding there.
5. W</span><span>hen the noncompetitive inhibitor is bonded to the enzyme, the shape of the ENZYME is distorted. The non competitive inhibitors are those inhibitors that bind to other places in the enzyme instead of the active site. The binding of the non competitive inhibitor usually distort the shape and the conformation of the enzyme thus preventing the substrate from binding to it effectively.
6. E</span><span>nzyme inhibitors disrupt normal interactions between an enzyme and its SUBSTRATE. The principal function of enzyme inhibitor is to prevent the substrate from binding to the appropriate enzyme. This is usually done in the human system in order to regulate the activities of enzymes.</span>

Why are green plants or algae good indicators of the distribution of living organisms in an area?
