What type of molecule speeds up chemical reactions in living things?

Biology
1 answer:
iren [92.7K]4 years ago
4 0

The best answer is  B - Proteins.

Proteins make up enzymes, or to put it another way enzymes are made up of protein. It is enzymes that speed up the chemical reactions. Enzymes are organic catalysts, substances that speed up a (biochemical) reaction but do not take part in the reaction and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.

In man, there are many enzymes. The majority of these are found in the digestive system where they greatly aid the process of food breakdown from complex molecules to simple molecules. Examples include salivary amylase found in saliva,  which begins the gradual breaking down of starch into glucose right from the moment food is placed in the mouth and mixed with saliva. Pepsin in the stomach breaks down protein.

Temka [501]
<span>Joints with no movement are called immoveable or fibrous joints.They are also called synathrosis, they are only separated by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue e.g are the sutures of the skull. Joints that are more loosely connected are called freely moveable or synovial joints. They are also called diarthrosis.The joints are held together by an articular capsule comprised of ligaments. A synovial membrane lines the inside of the capsule and secretes synovial fluid which lubricates the joint (hence it's name).</span>

Fungi produce many compounds that humans are able to use medically. how can you account for these compounds?
levacccp [35]
None of those options are correct. 

Fungi produce,naturally, antibiotics that will kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria.
This is useful for them to limit competition in their natural environment but it's also useful for us because it will kill bacteria that cause us infections.

The only thing scientists had to do is isolate that antibiotic.

Some antibiotics that were developed from fungi: penicillin and cephalosporins.

Nata [24]
Diploblasty is a state of the blastula in which there are two essential germ layers: the ectoderm and endoderm. Diploblastic living beings are life forms which create from such a blastula and incorporate cnidaria and Ctenophora, earlier assembled together in the phylum Coelenterata, yet later comprehension of their disparities brought about their being put in discrete phyla.

To answer the above:

Diploblastic animals have ectoderm and an endoderm as well as radial symmetry.
