While eating a container of yogurt,you have to leave,so you store the yogurt in the refrigerator.A day later you return and find the surface of the yogurt is no longer smooth but has broken into several liquified products.You correctly guess that enzymes from your saliva,via the spoon,have continued digesting the yogurt in your absence.What will happen over time?


A) The reaction has probably stopped because the amount of saliva is small and you would have to add more saliva to continue the degradation.
B) The reaction will continue indefinitely since the enzyme is not consumed by the reaction.
C) The reaction will continue until half is digested and then stop because the reaction between substrate and product will be balanced.
D) The reaction has probably stopped because the yogurt has denatured the enzyme.
E) As long as the enzyme is not denatured by environmental conditions,the reaction will continue until all of the substrate is used up.

While science cannot describe "thinking" in physical terms,we are certain that the process involves metabolism inside brain cells.With positron emission tomography (PET scan) ,it is possible to inject short-lived isotopes and image the regions of the brain that have the most active metabolism during various mental activities.However,


A) thought cannot be linked to cell processes because energy is not related to matter.
B) since thoughts can occur over and over,the requirement for a continual input of energy to prevent entropy does not apply to this cell activity.
C) the cellular energy expended in thinking must be less than the chemical bond energy supplied in food to these brain cells.
D) "thinking" is beyond the scope of science to study.
E) "thinking" is not a cellular process and therefore does not require energy.
