Which tenet of cell theory came from this discovery? 1. Cells are derived from other cells. 2. Cells in living organisms develop from nonliving matter. 3. Cells are the functional units of all living organisms. 4. Cells for all organisms look like small compartments. Which statement is correct about the functioning of this enzyme?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the tenets of cell theory related to the process of cell formation and the relationship between enzyme activity, temperature, and pH. It tests knowledge of foundational biology concepts.
Answer
Cells are derived from other cells. Enzyme activity is highest at 38°C, pH 6.
The correct tenet is that cells are derived from other cells. The enzyme activity is greatest at a temperature of 38°C when the pH is 6.
Answer for screen readers
The correct tenet is that cells are derived from other cells. The enzyme activity is greatest at a temperature of 38°C when the pH is 6.
More Information
The concept that cells come from pre-existing cells was advanced by Rudolf Virchow, helping to negate the idea of spontaneous generation. Enzymes, proteins that speed up reactions, have optimal conditions for activity, typically including specific temperature and pH ranges.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the implications of cell theory principles. For enzymes, misreading the graph can lead to wrong conclusions about optimal conditions.
