Answer:

Activation energy may be defined as the minimum amount of the energy required to convert the substrate into the product. The higher the activation energy of a reaction, the slower the speed of a reaction.

The enzymes decreases the activation energy of the reaction and increases the effective collision between the substrate. The enzymes does not change the DG (delta G) or free energy of the reaction. The enzymes maintain the equilibrium of the reaction by increasing the equal amount of the forward and backward rate of the reaction.

What is the function of the golgi apparatus?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Cells synthesise a large number of different macromolecules required for life. The Golgi apparatus is integral in modifying, sorting, and packaging these substances for cell secretion (exocytosis) or for use within the cell. It primarily modifies proteins delivered from the rough endoplasmic reticulum, but is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosome.

Enzymes within the cisternae are able to modify substances by the addition of carbohydrates (glycosylation) and phosphate (phosphorylation) to them. Proteins are also labelled with a signal sequence of molecules which determine their final destination. For example, the Golgi apparatus adds a mannose-6-phosphate label to proteins destined for lysosomes. 

Vesicles which leave the rough endoplasmic reticulum are transported to the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, where they fuse with the Golgi membrane and empty their contents into the lumen. Once inside they are modified, sorted, and shipped towards their final destination. As such, the Golgi apparatus tends to be more prominent and numerous in cells synthesising and secreting many substances: plasma B cells, the antibody-secreting cells of the immune system, have prominent Golgi complexes. 

Once the proteins reach the trans face, they are placed into coated transport vesicles and bud off to reach their final destinations. The form of the vesicle is determined by the type of protein and the label it acquired.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

C. Anaphase

Explanation:

Taxol's primary action is to bind to microtubules, especially β-tubulin, and prevent their depolymerization, thereby stabilizing mitotic spindle during anaphase of mitosis which leads to arrest of cell cycle.

Which occurs during translation

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Translation occurs in a structure called the ribosome, which is a factory for the synthesis of proteins. ... Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs in three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. During initiation, the small ribosomal subunit binds to the start of the mRNA sequence.
