8. Some saliva was mixed with water and placed in a test-tube labelled A to which some boiled, cooled starch was added. Two other test-tube B and C were prepared as follows: Test-tube B-water and saliva Test-tube C water and starch. The three test-tube placed in water bah at 37°C and allowed to stand in the water for 5 minutes. A few drops were removed from each test-tube with a piece of glass tubing and tested with iodine solution and Benedict's solution. (a) Which of the test-tubes contained a solution that gave an orange precipitate with Benedict's solution? (1 mark)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Solution:

Experiment:

Boiled potato is used here in mashed form and separated into three parts.

Separate them in test tube A, test tube B and test tube C.

In the test tube A, iodine is added.

In the test tube B, iodine is added and then saliva is introduced.

In test tube C, nothing is added and kept as the control set.

Observation:

The test tube A, the iodine solution changes the boiled potato to blue color.

In the test tube B, saliva is introduced and mixed with the sample after adding iodine.

As a result, the color change will be observed when starch will be broken down to simple sugars like maltose.

The blue color starts reducing in the test tube B as the saliva containing the salivary amylase starts acting on the starch.

Test tube C shows no color change.

Inference:

The change in the test tube containing saliva shows the effect of salivary enzymes like salivary amylase on the boiled starch present in potato.

that all I hope it will help

Some chemotherapy drugs act by attaching themselves to the growing strand of a DNA molecule, thus preventing its replication. Cells on which phase of the cell cycle would be affected by this drug?

Answers

The answer is S phase.

If drugs prevent DNA replication which occurs in the S phase. That means that the S phase will be affected by these drugs.

is when the cell is on the S phase.

S-Phase is the part of cell cycle when the DNA is replicating, occurring between G1 and G2 phase

If the replication is somehow prevented, the drugs is most likely affecting the S-Phase

Which one of the following statements holds true for the induced-fit model?a. Once the enzyme binds to the specific substrate molecule, no structural changes can occur in the active site of the enzyme.
b. Once the enzyme binds to the specific substrate molecule, structural changes can occur in the active site to accomodate the product.
c. Once the enzyme binds to a specific substrate molecule, subtle structure changes occur in the active site, which are reverted when the reaction is over.

Answers

C. once the substrates bind to the enzyme, the active site of the enzyme changes, to the shape of the substrate. Once the product detaches from the enzyme, then the active site returns to it's normal shape

Which of the following statements best defines the term operon?A. An operon is a region of RNA that consists of the coding regions of more than one gene.
B. An operon is a region of DNA that codes for sugar-metabolizing enzymes.
C. An operon is a region of DNA that codes for a series of functionally related genes under the control of the same promoter.
D. An operon is a region of DNA that consists of a single gene regulated by more than one promoter.

Answers

I say b but I’m not sure

Answer: C

An operon is a function portion of a DNA strand that contains a cluster or genes that are controlled under one promoter. This is found in an bacteria or cell and controls protein synthesis. It helps conserve the energy of the cell by only producing proteins when necessary.
