Why did the students leave the amylase and starch solutions in the water bath for five minutes in step 3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Each enzyme functions at an optimum temperature.  Below the optimum temperature, the enzyme's function slows, and will eventually become inactive.  Above the optimal temperature, the enzyme's activity will slow.  Too far above the optimum temperature and the enzyme becomes denatured (its shape changes) and it can no longer function.  Amylase is the enzyme that breaks starch (amylose) down into maltose.  The amylase and the starch were placed in the water bath to allow the reaction to occur at amylase's optimum temperature of 37 C.

Reduced vegetation on Earth results in _____.

Answers

Consequently, reduced vegetation cover and soil wetness and associated land degradation and soil erosion may have increased albedo and decreased emissivity over the Sahel.

Answer:

fragmentation of habitat, soil erosion, soil compaction, and increased input of sediment into waterways.

Explanation:

Reduced vegetation on earth will result in more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because the plants will not absorb the rest.

The effects of plant removal on soil biota were similar to that in the dry season. For both seasons, understory removal had no significant effects on soil Physico-chemical properties (soil water content, pH, total nitrogen, and soil organic carbon) but the removal of all plants significantly decreased soil pH.

Expansive changes in tundra and boreal vegetation can have significant implications for physical and ecological processes, as well as impacts on communities. Vegetation change that alters land surface darkness influences albedo and surface energy balance.

Which phrase should be written in the column titled "always"? have a backbone are warm-blooded are multicellular eat plants

Answers

The correct phrase would be that warm-blooded animals always have a backbone.

What warm-blooded animals?

They are animals whose body temperature does not fluctuate with the temperature of the environment.

Warm-blooded animals have a system in place that ensures that the temperature of their body does not fluctuate significantly. The process by which this is achieved is called homeostasis.

Warm-blooded animals are advanced animals in the chordate group. Chordates have notochords that develop into the brain and the spinal cord in several animals.

Thus, all warm-blooded animals always have a backbone.

five kingdom system of classification is more advanced than two kingdom system of classification. why
please can you answer my question
its for ninth grade please tell suitable answer and fasttttttt​

Answers

Answer:

This system of classification of living organisms is better than following the older classification of plants and animals because it eradicated the confusion of putting one species in two different kingdoms.

Explanation:

In five kingdom classification, the criteria to classifiy organisms include

1. Presence / absence of cell wall

2. Presence / absence of nuclear envelope

3. Mode of nutrition

4. Mode of reproduction.

5. Body organisation, Unicellular or multicellular

Acoordingly the organisms were grouped in 5 Kingdoms namely,

Monera - Unicellular prokaryotic organisms -Example, Bacteria

Protista - Unicellular eukaryotic organisms - Example, Euglena, Amoeba, Paramoecium etc

Fungi - Eukaryotic, multicellular organisms with saprophytic mode of nutrition.

Example, Rhizopus, Agaricus etc

Plantae - Eukaryotic multicellular organisms, that are photosynthetic autotrophs Example, Mango, Coconut etc

Animalia - Eukaryotic multicellular organisms, heterotrophic in nutrition

Example, Lion, Dog, Monkey etc

Advantages of Five kingdom over two kingdom classification

1. The  five kingdom classification seggregates organisms based on five basic criteria, as compared to two kingdom classification where organisms are classified based on two criteria.

2. Unicellular prokaryotes and eukaryotes as well as Fungi were not included in the two kingdom classification.

3. Mixotrophs like Euglena too were not included in the two kingdom classification.

- Sun provides energy to producers

What is lost to the environment at each of the trophic levels of this ecosystem?

In a trophic web, 10% of a link's energy is transferred to the following link, and the other 90% dissipates to the environment as heat. The answer is heat.

What is the trophic web?

The trophic web is the interaction between different organisms involving transference of energy when some of them feed on the other ones.

The ones placed at lower levels pass energy to the ones at the higher levels.

Organisms at each level feed on the preceding one and become food for the next one.

The first link corresponds to a producer organism -autotroph-.

The following links are the consumers -heter0trophs-: herbivores and carnivores.

The last links are the decomposers that degrade organic matter from dead organisms.

Because it is a web, all organisms are in equilibrium until a change occurs. When a sudden change affects any of the involved links, there can be a cascade effect on the web.

Any change in a link population size (increasing or decreasing) will affect the superior links and the immediately anterior link.

What is the 10% rule?

From the energy that reaches the Earth's surface, only 0.1 or 1% is absorbed by autotroph organisms.

This small percentage of energy flows through all organisms in the ecosystem -from autotrophs to heter0trophs- until it dissipates in the environment.

Only 10% of energy is transferred from one level to the next one. The remaining 90% is dissipated as heat to the environment. This assessment is called The 10% rule.

This rule states that only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level.

The progressive reduction of energy determines the number of trophic levels (4 or 5).

Heat is lost to the environment at each of the trophic levels of this ecosystem.

Suggest how damage to the air sacs can cause the symptom of breathless when exercising.

Answers

Let's say you're exercising. You can exercise normally, going at a good-enough base to not overwork. Now, let's just say you start to overwork, for a couple of hours. You do this for a period of time, constantly.

Doing this all has now caused damage to your air sacs. While overworking while exercising again, (after having done it for a long time) you get the symptom of breathlessness.
Breathless symptoms can be shortness of breath/difficulty while breathing, increase in pulse rate, showing signs of pale skin, and chest pain. You got this symptom from overworking, which lead to the damage in your air sacs.

D. have no effect on the equilibrium.

Answers

If an exothermic reaction has reached equilibrium, then increasing the temperature will favor the reverse reaction. So, the correct option is B.

What do you mean by Exothermic reaction?

Exothermic reactions are those reactions in which the energy or heat is liberated apart from the product.

Increasing the temperature of exothermic reactions causes a decline in the concentration of products while enhancing the concentration of reactants.

Therefore, if an exothermic reaction has reached equilibrium, then increasing the temperature will favor the reverse reaction.

what is the probability that a gamete will be recessive in a heterozygous parent

Answers

2

A heterozygous parent (Aa) has one dominant allele (A) and one recessive allele (a). They will produce 4 gametes and half of their alleles are recessive so there is 50% a given gamete will be recessive (2 gametes have recessive, 2 gametes have dominant)

A heter0zygous parent (Aa) has one dominant allele (A) and one recessive allele (a). They will produce 4 gametes and half of their alleles are recessive so there is 50% that a given gamete will be recessive (2 gametes have recessive, 2 gametes have dominant)

What is an allele?

Assuming the gene is represented by the allele G (dominant), the alternate form (recessive) of the allele will be g.

A heter0zygous pea plant will have the genotype Gg. During gamete formation, Gg will split into G and g gametes.

Answer:

B. Nucleus

Explanation:

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.

The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people
