MatroZZZ [7]1 year ago

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.

There are three checkpoints in the cell cycle what is the role.
Tanzania [10]

The 3 checkpoints include G1 where the cell growth is checked, G2 where the integrity of the DNA/chromosome is checked, and M where the integrity of the metaphase plate is checked.

<h3>Cell cycle checkpoints</h3>

There are 3 regulatory checkpoints in the life cycle of cells:

  • G1: the size of the cell, the presence of growth factors, and the integrity of the DNA are checked before the cell irreversibly commits to division.
  • G2: the integrity of the DNA and the correctness of the replication process at the S-phase are checked.
  • M: correct attachment of the spindle fibers to the chromosomes at the metaphase plate is checked.

The number of hydrogen atoms in 6NH3 is
mamaluj [8]

No 6 is common for N and H. 3 is only for H(Hydrogen).

For finding the number of hydrogen atoms we should multiply 6 with 3

 So, 6*3 = 18. So there will be 18 hydrogen atoms in 6NH₃
