Answer:

The mechanism of enzyme action.

Explanation:

The lock and key mechanism refer to the mechanism of enzyme action. The enzyme is a bio catalyst which enhance the biochemical reactions without changing itself. In the lock and key mechanism, a specific substrate will attach to the active site of the enzyme to form an enzyme-substrate complex. It's like a specific key fits with the lock. The active site is the portion of the enzyme, where it gets attached to the substrate. Then the substrate becomes the product and detaches from the enzyme. Now the enzyme becomes free and another specific substrate will attach to carry on the enzyme action.

Explain the differences in the three types of RNA by connecting it to a factory.

kykrilka [37]

${\huge{\sf{\green{\underline {\underline {Answer }}}}}}$

Three major types of RNA are mRNA, or messenger RNA, that serve as temporary copies of the information found in DNA; rRNA, or ribosomal RNA, that serve as structural components of protein-making structures known as ribosomes; and finally, tRNA, or transfer RNA, that ferry amino acids to the ribosome to be assembled .

RNA carries genetic information from the nucleus to ribosomes for the synthesis of proteins; while tRNA carries specific amino acids to the ribosomes to assist the protein biosynthesis, and on the other hand, rRNA provides the structural framework for the formation of ribosomes.

What term is used to describe organisms composed of identical and unspecialized cells?

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Embryo cell or totipotent cell

Explanation:

All organisms during their embryonic stage also known as totipotent cells are composed of cells that are identical in structure and function. These cells can differentiate at a later stage and have the potential to become any cell i.e heart cell, eye cell etc. Embryo is thus just a mass of unspecialized cell which undergo differentiation to then convert into pluripotent and form tissues and hence the organ.
