Question

Catalase is an enzyme that is found in all living tissues. Cells need catalase in order to function properly. Which of the following statements can be inferred using the given information?

a. Cells can function equally as well at all temperatures because enzymes are effective at all temperatures.
b. Cells only function within a specific temperature range because enzymes only function within a specific temperature range.
c. Cells only function within a specific pH range because enzymes only function within a specific pH range.
d. Cells can function equally as well at all pH's because enzymes are effective at all pH's.

Answer 1

Answer: option D) Cells can function equally as well at all pH's because enzymes are effective at all pH's.

Explanation:

Studies in biology have demonstrated that:

- All living tissues have different pH (stomach is acidic, it has a pH below 7; saliva is alkaline, it has pH above 7 etc)

- All living tissues has a stable physiological temperature of 37°c

- All living tissues contain enzymes such as Catalase

Thus, based on the information given, we can infer that all cells can function equally as well at all pH's (whether acidic, neutral or alkaline) because enzymes are also effective at all pH's.

Answer 2

Answer:

Cells only function within a specific temperature range because enzymes only function within a specific temperature range.
