________ is the set of skills and abilities necessary for an organism to live.

Answer:

D) They can increase the reaction rate for a given reaction by a thousand-fold or more.

Explanation:

Enzymes are like catalysts with the only difference that they are bio-molecules. Biochemical/chemical reactions are slow because of 'transition state barriers' which require a lot of energy to overcome so enzymes rather than overcoming transition state barrier provide an alternate pathway for biochemical reactions which require comparatively less energy. Thus presence of an enzyme leads to an increase in reaction rate because alternate pathway which requires less energy makes the rate of chemical reaction rapid by a thousand-fold or more.

The correct statement about enzyme catalysts is that they can increase the reaction rate for a given reaction by a thousand-fold or more. They do this by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction.

The statement that is true of enzyme catalysts is D) They can increase the reaction rate for a given reaction by a thousand-fold or more. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms, and they can indeed increase the rate of a reaction drastically. This increased reaction rate is achieved by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction, thereby allowing it to proceed much faster than it would without the enzyme.

It is crucial to note that the other options provided are incorrect because the catalytic activity of enzymes is often dependent on pH (choice A is incorrect), enzymes show specificity towards the D or L form of an isomer (choice B is incorrect), they cannot change the equilibrium constant of a reaction but just speed up the rate at which equilibrium is achieved (choice C is incorrect), and they can typically function at much lower concentrations than their substrates (choice E is incorrect).

Answer:

This organism is both autotroph and heterotroph

Explanation:

The animals which have the ability to get energy by consuming the other organism are called heterotrophic organisms and the organism can make their own energy are called autotrophs.  

So if an organism has the ability to consume another organism for energy and also have chloroplasts than that organism will be considered both autotroph and heterotroph because through chloroplast it can convert sunlight energy into chemical energy like plant do and by consuming other organisms it can also get food or energy.  

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

The cell requires nutrients for the growth, development and to survive. The body gets the nutrients from what we eat.

The food material eaten by humans has to be digested by the digestive enzymes or the complex molecules are broken down into the smaller molecules. These simple molecules are absorbed by the intestine through diffusion and get transported into the blood.  

From the blood, the nutrients reach to different cells of the body and hence are absorbed by the cell.

Thus, Option-A is correct.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The foods that we take are in the form of complex carbohydrates, fats and proteins. These food particles are broken down inside the body in order to attain simpler forms.

These simpler forms of food are easily absorbed inside the body. The organism absorbs these microscopic nutrients which is then converted into adenosine tri phosphate.

This is how the energy from the food is used by the body.

Genetic drift is a random change in allele frequencies that occurs in a small population. It can lead to the elimination of an allele from a population by chance. This process can occur more quickly in small populations and can be magnified by natural or human-caused events.

Genetic drift is a random change in allele frequencies that occurs in a small population. It is the effect of random chance on a population, where the allele frequencies in the offspring differ from the allele frequencies in the parents. Genetic drift can lead to the elimination of an allele from a population by chance. This process can occur more quickly in small populations, and it can also be magnified by natural or human-caused events, such as disasters or migrations.

The macromolecule must be starch.

Explanation:

Starch is a polymer of Glucose joined by glycosydic bond.

Starch is the main energy storage substance in green plants.

Starches react with iodine and give a bluish black or black color and thus iodine test is considered as a confirmatory test for starches.

In this experiment ,the solution turns very dark black on addition of iodine so we can be sure that the solution contained starch.

Answer:

In prokaryotes

Explanation:

The process of photosynthesis probably originated in prokaryotic organisms.

Photosynthesis is the process whereby organisms manufacture their own food in the presence of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.

Photosynthesis began between 3.5 and 2.5 billion years ago with cyanobacteria, fundamentally changing the Earth's atmosphere by releasing oxygen. This key evolutionary step allowed organisms to harness energy from sunlight, leading to a diverse and complex biosphere.

The process of photosynthesis likely originated on Earth between 3.5 and 2.5 billion years ago, during the Archaean Eon. Cyanobacteria, single-celled organisms capable of photosynthesis, appeared around 2.5 billion years ago and dramatically altered the composition of the Earth's atmosphere and the course of biological evolution. By capturing light energy from the sun, these organisms were able to generate carbohydrates for stored energy and release oxygen as a by-product. This evolutionary step was a monumental biological innovation because it allowed life forms to derive energy directly from sunlight rather than depending solely on chemical sources present on Earth or from space.

Answer: Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone and medication. Adrenaline is normally produced by both the adrenal glands and a small number of neurons in the medulla oblongata, where it acts as a neurotransmitter involved in regulating visceral functions (e.g., respiration).It plays an important role in the fight-or-flight response by increasing blood flow to muscles, output of the heart, pupil dilation response and blood sugar level. It does this by binding to alpha and beta receptors.[

Epinephrine is involved in endocrine type of signaling as described in this passage. Thus, the correct option is D.

Endocrine cells produce hormones to communicate with the remote target cells which are found in other organs of the body. The hormone that reaches these distant areas using the circulatory system in the body. This exposes the whole organism to the hormone however, only those cells which are expressing hormone receptors or target cells are affected in an organism. Thus, the endocrine signaling induces slow responses from the target cells but these effects also last longer than usual.

Explanation:

Lack of dietary fiber can lead to the formation of diverticula, known as diverticulosis, and inflammation of these pouches is known as diverticulitis. Dietary fibers are crucial for maintaining colon health and reducing the risk of colon cancer by providing bulk and stimulating peristalsis.

When the diet lacks fiber and there's decreased volume of residues in the colon, this can cause the formation of diverticula, a condition known as diverticulosis. When these diverticula become inflamed, the condition is known as diverticulitis, similar to how an inflamed appendix is called appendicitis.

The colon responds to a diet lacking in fiber by narrowing and increasing the pressure within its walls. This is a result of the colon contracting more powerfully to move the smaller volume of fecal matter, which can contribute to the development of diverticulosis and potentially lead to diverticulitis if inflammation occurs.

Regular intake of both soluble fiber, like inulin, and insoluble fiber, which includes nondigestible carbohydrates that do not dissolve in water, is important for colon health. These types of dietary fiber help maintain regularity, soften stools, and enhance the strength of colonic contractions, thereby reducing the risk of conditions like diverticulosis. Moreover, fiber intake is inversely associated with the risk of colon cancer.

Answer: D) a chemostat using a low-nutrient medium

Explanation:

A chemostat is a bioreactor in which a constant chemical environment is maintained. In the bioreactor the fresh medium is added, whereas the culture liquid, left out nutrients, microorganisms and metabolic end products are removed from the medium at the same rate to keep the volume of the culture constant.

The volume and concentration of the nutrient medium can be maintained in the chemostat bioreactor.

According to the given situation, the bacteria can be cultured in low-nutrient growth medium that is the lake water to observe its adaptation under the low-nutrient concentration.

The inner ear structures responsible for equilibrium are the utricle, saccule, and three semicircular canals. They contain hair cells with stereocilia that sense head position and movement. Signals from these structures reach the brain stem and cerebellum via the vestibulocochlear nerve.

The sensory receptors of the inner ear responsible for equilibrium, or balance, are primarily located within the vestibule of the inner ear. Specific structures involved are the utricle, saccule, and the three semicircular canals.

Each of these structures plays a distinctive role in maintaining equilibrium: the utricle and saccule help sense head position, while the semicircular canals sense head movement. They contain mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells with stereocilia, that sense your body's position and motion and send this information to the brain.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Edward syndrome is also called as trisomy which is a genetic disorder. This disorder is caused due to the third copy of the all the part of the chromosome number 18.

The babies that are born is small and have heart defects. They have overlapping fingers.

The ultrasound cannot detect the problem but the process of amniocentesis can confirm the syndrome.

The 2:1 ratio of green to red fluorescence in comparative genomic hybridization suggests that the test subject has an extra copy of genetic material on chromosome 18, which likely indicates Edwards Syndrome, not Down Syndrome, option D is correct.

When performing comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), observing a ratio of green to red fluorescence that is consistently 2 along an entire chromosome, as described for chromosome 18 in this scenario, indicates a DNA copy number variation. In this case, a 2:1 ratio suggests that the test subject has gained extra genetic material on chromosome 18. The correct conclusion would be that the test subject likely has Down Syndrome. This is incorrect, as Down Syndrome is characterized by an extra copy (trisomy) of chromosome 21, not 18. An increased copy number on chromosome 18 could suggest other types of chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomy 18, also known as Edwards Syndrome and not Down Syndrome.

Answer:

The correct answer is: supraspinatus.

Explanation:

Many muscles insert in the humerus - in its greater tubercle, where the fracture took place, is where three of the four rotator cuff muscles insert: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor. Avulsion of the greater tubercle could result in detachment of any of these 3 muscles but if we take into account that the 15-year-old boy had difficulty initiating abduction of the upper limb, we can infer that the damaged muscle is the supraspinatus because its main action is to start the abduction the upper limb.

OPTIONS:

1. reproductive isolation

2. sympatric speciation

3. habitat isolation

4. prezygotic barriers

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

First, let us consider the definition of the above listed terms in the question and see each come to play in the hypothetical situation.

Reproductive isolation occurs when two similar species become prevented from mating together as a result of environmental barriers. This can be seen in the flea population, as they become separated by ecological barrier, since some now live on pronghorn antelopes, while others live on cattle.

Sympatric speciation is a speciation that occurs when new species evolved from an ancestor that they share the same geographical region together, but dwell in overlapping different ecological area.For example, fleas that have preference for cattle blood evolved from pronghorn antelopes fleas, as their ancestor. The two species both dwell in overlapping ranges but still in the same rangeland.

Habitat isolation is a barrier that prevents two species from interbreeding as a result of differences in where they live. For example, fleas on cattle cannot interbreed with fleas on pronghorn antelopes.

Prezygotic barriers are reproductive mechanisms that prevent fertilization. Habitat isolation is an example of prezygotic reproductive mechanism that prevents fertilization to take place between fleas on cattle and fleas on pronghorn antelopes.

The apoplast in plant tissues consists of cell walls, extracellular spaces, and vessel elements

Explanation:

In plant cells, apoplasts refer to the extracellular space present outside the plasma membrane. These are formed by continuous cell walls arranged adjacent to each other.

The main function of apoplasts is transportation of water and other solutes between tissues and organs by free diffusion of molecules via the plasma membrane.

This pathway called the apoplastic pathway constituted by its vessel elements, cell walls, and extracellular space aids in passive absorption by roots

The apoplast in plant tissues consists of cell walls, extracellular spaces, and vessel elements, option a is correct.

The apoplast in plant tissues is composed of cell walls, extracellular spaces, and vessel elements, enabling the transport of substances like water and minerals. The apoplast allows for the transport of water and minerals through cell walls, the xylem, and the intercellular space between cells. Plasmodesmata, on the other hand, are channels that pass between cell walls of adjacent plant cells, connecting their cytoplasm and enabling the transport of materials from cell to cell within the symplast.

Answer:

If the person has another meal after 5 pm, the glucose level in the blood will increase, and the insulin level too.

Several hours after the meal, the glucose levels will decrease, and the glucagon levels will increase.

Explanation:

When a person ingests another meal after 5 p.m, the glucose levels in the blood will increase, as the body does not need all that glucose right now the insulin levels in the blood will increase to store glucose for later. The glucagon levels after a meal are very low because the aim is to store glucose not use it.

Several hours after the meal, the body needs the energy to keep operating so it will use the glucose that was stored, to do this, the levels of glucagon in blood have to increase and release the glucose, and the levels of insulin in blood have to decrease.

Following a meal, blood glucose levels rise which triggers the production of insulin. Insulin helps in glucose absorption and reduces the blood glucose level. Several hours post-meal, as glucose levels drop, glucagon gets released which assists in raising the blood glucose level by promoting glycogen breakdown and gluconeogenesis.

When a person has a meal, the glucose level in the blood increases. This is due to the carbohydrates in the food being broken down into glucose. This rise in glucose triggers the pancreas to produce and release insulin. Insulin aids the cells in absorbing glucose and regulating the blood glucose level by reducing it. Moreover, insulin stimulates the liver and muscles to store excess glucose as glycogen.

Several hours after the meal, as the glucose is utilized, blood glucose levels start to drop. This decrease signals the pancreas to release glucagon. Glucagon stimulates the liver to break down the stored glycogen into glucose and release it back into the blood, thereby increasing the blood glucose level. Additionally, glucagon promotes the process of gluconeogenesis in the liver, where it synthesizes glucose from amino acids absorbed from the bloodstream. Both of these actions mediated by glucagon result in an increase in blood glucose levels to maintain it at a steady state.

In conclusion, immediately after a meal, the blood glucose level will increase and then insulin will be secreted to counter the increase. Then several hours after the meal, the blood glucose level will increase again due to an increase in the amount of glucagon secreted.

Explanation:

Vitamins are one of the food nutrients required for a balanced diet. This is because vitamins play a vital role in the functionality and the structural development of our body systems. Vitamins are sometimes referred to as micronutrients because they are needed in smaller amounts by the body.

Vitamins are classified into essential and non-essential vitamins. The non-essential vitamins are readily produced by the body and do not require taking them from external sources while the essential vitamins must be taken in as the body does not either produce them, or doesn't produce them to the amounts it actually need.

The essential vitamins include;

Vitamins A, D, E, K, C and the B vitamins which include vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12.

These vitamins are further divided into fat-soluble (ADEK) and water-soluble(B vitamins and C)

It is advisable to take at least the recommended dietary allowance of these vitamins in our foods, everyday as they are not synthesized in the body to required amounts. These vitamins are needed for the many metabolic processes occurring in the body and a deficiency of them lead to various diseases examples being;

Scurvy from vitamin C deficiency.

Anemia from folate deficiency.

Night blindness from vitamin A deficiency.

Muscle weakness and fatigue from vitamin D deficiency and many more.

The total number of cells is given as =2n x initial number

[n = number of generations]

So if the total is 8 cells:

8=2n x 2

2n=4

n=2

That means 2 generations have arose

Generation time is given as [tex]\frac{t}{n}[/tex]

where t=the time taken

if t=1hour and n=2

Generation time = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 0.5hour

Generation time, g =0.5h, and the rate of generation (growth rate), v is 2 per hour
