A group of neurobiologists investigated the impact of a novel fungal compound, Toxin-Z, on acetylcholinesterase ($\text{AChE}$) activity. Because Toxin-Z is hydrophobic, it was dissolved in a $1\%$ dimethyl sulfoxide ($\text{DMSO}$) solvent. Four reaction mixtures were prepared under constant temperature ($37^\circ\text{C}$) and $\text{pH}$ ($7.4$):

- Reaction 1: $\text{AChE}$ + substrate + buffer
- Reaction 2: $\text{AChE}$ + substrate + buffer + $1\%$ $\text{DMSO}$
- Reaction 3: $\text{AChE}$ + substrate + buffer + $1\%$ $\text{DMSO}$ + $10\ \mu\text{M}$ Toxin-Z
- Reaction 4: Substrate + buffer (no $\text{AChE}$)

Match each reaction mixture to its specific experimental role or control designation.

Researchers investigated the hydrothermal growth of zinc oxide ($\text{ZnO}$) nanorods for use in piezoelectric nanogenerators. In five separate experimental trials, the reaction vessel temperature was set to $90^\circ\text{C}$, $100^\circ\text{C}$, $110^\circ\text{C}$, $120^\circ\text{C}$, and $130^\circ\text{C}$, respectively. In all trials, the zinc nitrate precursor concentration was maintained at $0.05\text{ M}$, the reaction duration was held at $4\text{ hours}$, and the autoclave fill volume was kept at $100\text{ mL}$. After each trial, the average aspect ratio (length-to-diameter ratio) of the synthesized nanorods was determined using scanning electron microscopy.
