Answer:
B. Enzymes generally catalyze only very specific biochemical reactions.
E. Most enzymes are proteins composed of amino acids
F. The cells of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes all contain enzymes.
G. If the active site of an enzyme is altered, the enzyme is unable to catalyze the biochemical reaction.
Explanation:
Enzymes refers to substances that acts as a catalyst in living organisms. They regulate the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without being altered in the process. Enzymes regulate the biological process that occur within living organisms.
Enzymes catalyze all aspects of cell metabolism such as digestion of food, conservation and transformation of chemical energy and the construction of cellular macromolecules from smaller precursors.
Application of enzymes
1. Industrial application
2. Medical application
1. Enzymes can be used for industrial application such as beer brewing, wine fermentation, bread leavening.
2. Enzyme can also be applied in the medical aspects for killing disease-causing microorganisms, promoting wound healing, and diagnosing some diseases.
Answer:
Option (2).
Explanation:
Ames test is used to identify the mutageneicity of the compound. The bacteria are treated with chemicals in the nutritive environment to determine whether the substance can acts as a mutagen or not.
The bacteria that can restore the biosyntheic activity in the environment can be considered as mutagen. The mutant bacteria can be easily identified in the Ames test.
Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
