Question
What would you predict would be the optimal temperature of most enzymes that occur in humans? Select one: a. 45 degrees Fahrenheit b. 32 degrees Fahrenheit C. 58 degrees Fahrenheit O d. 73 degrees Fahrenheit e.98 degrees Fahrenheit When you cook an egg the protein in the white of the egg changes appearance from a clear liquid to a white solid. What has happened to the egg protein? Select one: a. It is denatured b. The shape of the protein is altered c. Nothing, you can not affect an enzyme by heating it o d. Both A and BExplanation / Answer
1.The optimum temerature for most enzymes that occur in humans is
98 degrees Fahrenheit
98.6 degree fahrenheit or 37 degree celsius is the normal body temperature for humans, therefore most of the enzymes that occur in humans function at this temperature.
2. When the eggs are heated the proteins in the egg white changes shape and becaome solid instead of liquid. Due to heating the proteins are denatured also. Therefore the answer is both A and B
3. Energy is stored in living organisms
in the bonds of biological molecules.
Energy is stored in energy storage molecules such as glucose, fats, ATP .When these molecules are burnt, energy is released by them, which is utilized by the body to carry out different functions.
4. The most common short term energy carrier molecule of cells is
ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate)
ATP is a nucleotide and is made up of sugar,phosphate and a nitrogenous base. It is used for short term energy storage.
5. According to the first and second law of thermodynamics
Energy available to do useful work is less after energy is transformed
Energy conversions lead to a loss of energy which results in increasing the entropy of the sytem, which results in less energy being available.
