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.

How did fossil<br> fuels form, and how<br> are they obtained<br> and used?
Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are important energy sources for our every day activities.

  Formation of fossil fuels

Fossil fuels forms from the accumulation and burial of organisms in a basin of deposition. Instead of the organisms decaying, they preserve their carbon content. To be worthy of becoming fossil fuels, organisms must be buried in an environment where there is little to no oxygen to fast-track decomposition of the buried organic matter. Increase in temperature and pressure causes the organic matter to transform into fossil fuels.

How are they obtained

First, different fossil fuels have their extraction techniques because they occur in different physical state of matter.

For the solids e.g coal: exploration is carried out first and if a prospect is delineated, mining engineers design the best way to extract the coal from nature. Coal is usually found laid in sedimentary beds in nature. Top layers of sediments can be removed to extract the coal.

For fluids such as crude oil and natural gas, after a prospect is identified, a rig is usually constructed to extract the fluid and gas. The natural pressure allows for the fluids the rise within the drill used in extraction.

How are they used

Coal and gas are used to power electrical generating plants. They are used to heat steams which drives turbines and produce electricity.

Natural gas is used as a domestic fuel for cooking and so also coal.

When crude is processed a lot of product is obtained. Gasoline is used to power most internal combustion engines. Some chemicals useful for manufacturing plastics, drugs e.t.c are also derived from the processed crude.

Why do rice plants include starch and protein in their seeds
Wittaler [7]
A single gene could be inserted into a plant's genome, enabling specific traits to be expressed easily. Scientists have identified genes for two enzymes needed to make pro-vitamin A. One of these genes comes from corn.
