The controlled release of nuclear energy in a reactor is accomplished by

4 0

Nuclear power refers to the application of nuclear reactions, which discharge nuclear energy to produce heat and is most generally utilized in steam turbines to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant. Nuclear energy can be obtained from nuclear decay, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion reactions.

The controlled release of nuclear energy in a reactor is attained by controlling the fission without controlling a chain reaction. If a chain reaction occurs, then the amount of energy would increase exponentially, so in order to monitor the release of energy, fission must be controlled without controlling a chain reaction.

Which of the following are true statements concerning enzymes?

MissTica

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.

Alenkinab [10]

Answer: The question is not complete, here are the options.

Which statements best describe this scenario? Check all that apply.

A. The potato plant is parasitic.

B. The dodder plant is parasitic.

C. The potato plant will grow stronger.

D.The potato plant stays alive because of

E. The dodder plant stays alive because of the potato plant.

The correct options are A and E.

Explanation:

This is because dodder plant is a parasitic plants that survive and live on the host plants there by causing harm or destroying the host because it survive on the resources needed for the host survival. Dodder plants twine around the potatoes and obtain nutrients and water from the potatoes through it root system.
