Pepsin is an enzyme found in the human stomach that breaks down protein and will not break down starch because enzymes only work for specific substrates.

<h3>What is an Enzyme?</h3>

This is defined as a biological catalyst which helps to speed the rate of chemical reaction in the body. They are also substrate specific which means they can't act on any type of substance.

Pepsin is an enzyme which breaks down protein substances which is therefore the reason why it won't act on other food substances such as carbohydrate etc.

Answer:

The correct answer would be - AUGCUUAUC

Explanation:

The new mRNA strands are made by the process called transcription that involves an enzyme that helps to copy a segment of DNA or gene to produce a new RNA strand that encodes for the protein. In this process, a new RNA strand copied the complementary to the sequence of DNA strand. It means adenosine is copied into its complementary form uracil in RNA, Thymin to adenosine, cytosine to guanine and guanine to cytosine.

Original strands: TACGAATAG

new RNA strand: AUGCUUAUC

Arisa [49]
<h3><u>Answer and Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Purines: Heterocyclic rings are synthesized one atom at a time, first atom attached to ribose phosphate (source is PRPP) and then all the other atoms are added .
  • Pyrimidines: Common intermediate, orotate, synthesized first, then orotate is attached to ribose phosphate (source is PRPP or 5-Phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate).

If an enzyme in solution is saturated with substrate, the most effective way to obtain a faster yield of products is to:a. add m
Simora [160]

Answer:

a. add more of the enzyme

Explanation:

Enzymes have specific sites to which their substrates bind during the reaction. These sites are called active sites. When all the active sites of all the enzyme molecules present in a solution are bound to the substrate molecules, the enzyme is said to be saturated with the substrate. Under these conditions, more enzyme molecules are to be added to the solution to increase the reaction rate and to obtain the product at a fast rate. The addition of more enzymes will allow more substrate molecules to occupy the active sites and to be converted into the product/s.
