Describe how an enzyme’s shape changes as it binds to its substrate. Describe a condition under which an enzyme might to be able

to bind to its substrate.

MatroZZZ [7]1 year ago
6 0

The enzyme’s shape changes as it binds to its substrate because enzymes are highly specific, the main reason for enzyme’s shape changes as it binds to its substrate is temperature, pH and time.

<h3>Why an enzyme is so specific for its substrate?</h3>

Is due to the fact that the enzyme's active site has a complementary format to its substrate, promoting a contract, like a key that fits perfectly in a given fixation.

Substrate is the reagent on which an enzyme acts. When an enzyme binds to its substrate, the enzyme-substrate complex is formed. This binding takes place in a specific region, called the active site.

One exemple of an enzyme changing it's shape to binds to a substrate is pepsine. Pepsine changes it's shape to bind to proteins in the stomach and break them down into smaller peptides.

I’m almost 100% sure it’s D, because environmental factors can induce a mutation. A mutation can be beneficial but it can also be harmful, so it’s neither B or C, and it can’t be A, because mutations can come from natural selection as well. So it’s D.

Frameshift mutations ____________.
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "cause a change in the reading frame of mRNA codons".

Explanation:

Frameshift mutations are among the most drastic mutations because in most cases, result in the translation of a completely different protein. Frameshift mutations are the result of insertions or deletion of one or more nucleotides, resulting in a change in the reading frame of mRNA codons. In consequence, the ribosome translates a different amino acid sequence, based on the new reading frame of mRNA codons.

Which does not contribute to triglyceride digestion?
kozerog [31]
The correct answer is lipase activity in the large intestine.
Triglycerides are the main components of body fat and human skin oils. Lipases are enzymes which break down the fats or lipids in the body. They are responsible for the digestion and general processing of triglycerides. There are several different lipases in the human body, pancreatic lipase acting in the small intestine, hepatic lipase, lipase acting in the endothelium and lipase in the bile acid.

Answer:

Meiosis is a process in which sex cells, also known as gametes are made. Meiosis is different from mitosis in a lot of ways, one being that mitosis creates identical daughter cells and meiosis creates unique daughter cells. Meiosis is important because it allow for the creation of a meiosis nucleus. Cells produced by meiosis will be used in haploid, where each member of the next generation is genetically unique.

Cells produced in <u>sexual reproduction</u> will have half of the genetic information of body cells and will be genetically <u>unique</u>. This is necessary because when a sperm and an egg fuse together in sexual reproduction. They form a <u>zygote</u>: the first body of a new individual.

The new individual will now have cells that are <u>diploid</u>, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. They zygote will have to do a lot of <u>mitosis</u> allowing it to grow quickly and ensure that all of its cells are genetically unique.
