Describe the three steps of the lock and key model of enzyme function.

1 answer:

5 0

The specific action of an enzyme with a single substrate can be explained using a Lock and Key analogy first postulated in 1894 by Emil Fischer. In this analogy, the lock is the enzyme and the key is the substrate. Only the correctly sized key (substrate) fits into the key hole (active site) of the lock (enzyme).

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Organelles

Explanation:

Living cells of organisms contain structures within them that perform specific functions for the cell. These structures are called ORGANELLES. Organelles are organ-like structures that are specific about their function in a cell.

Both the cells of prokaryotes and eukaryotes possess organelles, however, the organelles in eukaryotes are bounded by a membrane e.g mitochondrion, chloroplast etc. while those of prokaryotic cells are not bounded by a membrane.

The organelles inside a cell can be seen with the aid of an electron microscope. Examples of organelles are chloroplast (functions in photosynthesis), mitochondria (functions in production and storage of cellular energy), ribosome (functions in protein synthesis) etc.
