Describe what an enzyme is and how it works according to the lock and key model

Biology

Mila [183]3 years ago

The Lock and Key Analogy of Enzymes and Substrates: Enzymes act as a catalyst in a given chemical reaction (for example, lactase allows lactose to break down into Glucose and Galactose); enzymes lower the amount of energy required to make a reaction occur. There is a key concept to this theory: Enzymes are designed work for only one reaction; there is only one key that fits the lock perfectly. Without enzymes, our bodies wouldn't be able to handle the amount of heat the reactions that occur inside if there weren't any enzymes (or the reactions just wouldn't occur! In the Lock and Key Analogy, the substrate (Lactose in the <span>example) is the "key".</span>

All variations within organisms can be explained by the known principles of genetics. True or False
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

Genetics is responsible for studying the way in which the characteristics of living organisms, whether morphological, physiological, biochemical or behavioral, are transmitted, generated and expressed, from one generation to another, under different environmental conditions, that is, try to explain how the characteristics of living beings are inherited and modified, which can be in shape (the height of a plant, the color of its seeds, the shape of the flower...), physiological (for example, the constitution of certain protein that performs a specific function within the body of an animal), and even behavior (in the form of courtship before mating in certain groups of birds, or the way of mating of mammals, among others). In this way, the principles of genetics tries to study how these characteristics pass to generation after generation, and why, in turn, they vary generation after other.

The gastric pits are at the bottom of the infoldings of stomach’s lining epithelium. The gastric gland is located at the bottom of the gastric pits. There are different types of cells in the glad that secreted digestive enzymes. 

For example: At the base of the gland, chief cells secrete pepsinogen that digests proteins and lipase that digest fats. 

Oxyntic cells are along the length of the gland and that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl), that is required to activate other enzymes.
