What factor may influence enzyme activity?

1 answer:

7 0

There are many factors that may influence enzyme activity, such as: temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the presence of inhibitors or activators. It can be temperature because it can be too high above optimal temperature will cause denaturation or too low below optimal temperature will cause a decrease in reaction rates and will eventually halt. It can be pH because enzyme's will denature if raised above or below optimal pH. It can be substrate concentration because of high levels of substrates will increase reaction rates to a point, however when becomes saturated, the reaction rate will become unaffected. Also, it can be inhibitors because of an agent that slows or interferes with a chemical action.

Adaptation is a heritable trait. The increase of adaptive evolution by the frequency and effectiveness of an advantageous character over time. Organisms became better adapted to their environment. We have so many species in the world because species have adapted to every possible niche. Different habitats and environment have resulted in different modified organisms.

Some of the options for survival and reproduction include genetics ecology, human evolution, molecular evolution, bioinformatics, geology and sociology.

4. How do many scientists explain the formation of the earth?

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Earth formed around 4.54 billion years ago, approximately one-third the age of the universe, by accretion from the solar nebula. Volcanic outgassing probably created the primordial atmosphere and then the ocean, but the early atmosphere contained almost no oxygen.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The basic function of the light reactions of photosynthesis is the conversion of solar energy to chemical energy.

Explanation:

In photosynthesis, the light energy is captured by chlorophyll pigment which is present in the thylakoid membrane. Then this light energy is used split water which releases the electron that enters the electron transport chain. Then electrons move through several electron carriers and helps to generates NADPH and ATP.

These NADPH and ATP are used in the Calvin cycle to fix the carbon into carbohydrates like glucose. Glucose molecules is then used by the plant to get energy source and to make structural components like cell wall. Therefore during photosynthesis solar energy is converted into chemical energy like glucose.
