Which organ would you expect to have the highest overall enzyme activity? Why? Food in the hindgut and crop is separated from the insect\'s cells by an impervious layer of chitin. To what do you attribute observed activity in these organs?

Solution

Liver is the organ in which highest overall enzyme activity can be seen due to presence of more hepatic enzyme synthesis to release at the time of catabolic & anabolic activities. These enzyme activities are going to promote efficient cell metabolism to generate energy & heat finally to keep the body with adequate homeostasis

Other aspects of liver include detoxification of toxic materials entered into the boy via , Phase 1 or Phase 2 enzymatic metabolism includes the chemical modifications of compounds, which generally increase the absorption of these compounds. Increased absorption also promotes the excretion through urine or faecal matter. Metabolism also may convert the active compounds into inactive and inactive compounds into active form. Many of the drugs undergo Phase-I, phase-II metabolic reactions, which facilitate their excretion. If these drugs do not undergo metabolic conversion, they accumulate in the body and causes toxic reactions.
