A supermarket chain advertises that its plastic carrier-
bags are 'environmentally friendly'. These bags are
made from polythene and contain added starch. A
student decided to find out if the claim is true. In the
investigation the student buried a piece of plastic from
the bag in a pot of soil and left it for one month. When
the plastic was dug up there were many small holes in
it.
The drawings show the plastic, as seen through a

Answer:

The holes were formed from either.., bugs could have ate the starch and the polyethylene was not a deterrent?

It may be biodegradable because it is edible to bugs? I'm not  sure that makes it completely biodegradable though.

How do buffers play a role in
homeostasis in living things?

Answers

Answer:

Buffers are commonly used in living organisms to help maintain a relatively stable pH.

In biological systems, chemical buffers prevent sharp and sudden changes in pH.

In biology, homeostasis refers to stable conditions required for the survival of organisms.

The pH is a scale used to determine how acidic/basic water is. The pH range from 0 to 14 ( a pH equal to 7 is neutral).

In human blood normal pH is about 7.35 to 7.45.

A sudden change in this value alters and negatively affects the homeostasis of the body.

The carbonic acid-bicarbonate is the most important chemical buffer which is used for mantaining acid-base balance (homeostasis) in the blood.

The blood pH can change due to respiratory acidosis/alkalosis and metabolic acidosis/alkalosis.

In conclusion, chemical buffers prevent sharp and sudden changes in pH.

B) Gaps in the fossil records will never allow us to fully understand evolution. C) Scientists studying evolution typically present ideas with very little evidence, leaving it to others to find proof of their ideas. D) Much of the science of evolution is based on speculation that can easily be changed when scientists think of new ideas.

Answers

Answer:

Aspects of evolution are constantly being challenged and explored in light of new evidence

Explanation:

The whole idea of evolution has to do with the fact that organisms developed into their present form from simpler life forms. According to Oxford dictionary, evolution is; ''the process by which different kinds of living organism are believed to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth.''

Evolution depends on evidence from fossil records. Evidences that support the theory of evolution continue to be amassed as science advances. Hence, aspects of evolution are constantly being challenged and explored in light of new evidence.

For this reason, the evolutionary history and development of whales is being hotly debated and there has recently been a major shift in our understanding of the processes used to detail whale evolution.

Explanation:

The behavior of allosteric enzymes a. does not play any role in feedback inhibition in metabolic pathways b. is strongly dependent on the presence of metal ions c. is related to their ability to hydrolyze themselves d. depends on changes in their quaternary structure on binding of substrates or inhibitors

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is d

Explanation:

Allosteric enzymes have multiple binding sites to different ligands called allosteric sites (different from the active site), these ligands can modify their kinetic properties. They are generally made up of more than one polypeptide chain, and have a quaternary structure, an enzyme with a quaternary structure can bind more than one substrate molecule. An allosteric enzyme is an enzyme whose activity is regulated by an allosteric center, which is a site, other than the active center of the enzyme, to which a regulator (called an allosteric regulator) binds in a reversible and non-covalent manner. The binding of this regulator modifies the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme and affects the configuration of the active site, thus increasing or decreasing its activity, depending on the case. The allosteric sites present in regulatory enzymes is where allosteric effectors or inhibitors are attached, causing a conformational change in the substrate binding site or catalytic site, thus regulating enzyme activity.

Answer:

d. depends on changes in their quaternary structure on binding of substrates or inhibitors

Explanation:

Allosteric enzymes are oligomeric proteins composed of subunits or polypeptidic chains. They have a quaternary structure -many subunits and active sites- and express two states, R and T. Both states establish an equilibrium, with or without a joint ligand.

When the transition from one state to the other occurs, symmetry is conserved, but the affinity of a site to a ligand is altered. When a substrate joins one of the sites, it affects other binding sites.

Allosteric enzymes can change their conformation, exhibiting active and inactive conformations as a result of substrate binding at the activated center and regulatory molecules at other binding sites -allosteric centers-.

tomato plants into 10 plots of equal size. The farmer then put fertilizer on half

group in this experiment?

Answers

Answer:

The plots with no fertilizer

Explanation:

In an experiment, the control group is used as a comparison for the experimental group (the group being actively changed and observed).

So, in this experiment, the control group is the plots with no fertilizer.

This acts as a good control group because it provides a normal standard to show the effect of fertilizer on the tomato plants.

So, the control group in this experiment are the plots with no fertilizer.

Human skin color is a good example of polygenic (multiple gene) inheritance. Assume that three "dominant" capital letter genes (A, B and C) control dark pigmentation because more melanin is produced. The "recessive"alleles of these three genes (a, b & c) control light pigmentation because lower amounts of melanin are produced.

Here, from the cross of the purple and white flower, all offspring are purple, which indicates that the purple color is dominant in nature and is present in Option A.

What is Punnett Square?

The Punnett square is a tool used to predict the probability of offspring inheriting specific alleles from their parents. If all of the offspring exhibit the same phenotype (such as purple flower color), it is likely that the parents both carried at least one dominant allele for that trait. This would mean that the purple flower color allele is dominant. Here, the parents are both purple and white, so all the offspring are dominant in nature.

Hence, from the cross of the purple and white flower, all offspring are purple, which indicates that the purple color is dominant in nature and is present in Option A.
