Answer:

Termites are insects that require the protozoan Trichonympha in their gut to synthesize the enzyme cellulase to degrade the cellulose in wood. The protozoan uses the end products of the cellulose breakdown (glucose). This is a(n) <u>mutualistic</u> relationship.

Explanation:

Mutualism is a sybiotic relationship where both organisms are helped in some way, in which populations interact to benefit eachother.

As in the cases of Termites and trichonympha, Termites requireTrichonympha in their gut to synthesize the enzyme cellulase to degrade the cellulose in wood (Termites are getting benefit) The protozoan uses the end products of the cellulose breakdown (Trichonympha also getting benefit). As both of them are benefite3d, this is mutualism.

The answer is A, denature.

As each type of enzymes has its own optimum temperature, like the temperature that they work fastest at, so if the temperature goes too high above the optimum, the 3D structure of the enzyme breaks apart and deforms and they can no longer bind with substrates thus no longer works. In this scenario, we say the enzyme is denatured.

Note that only if the temperature is too high can make the enzyme denature, if the temperature is too low, instead, the enzyme would be inactive, but once the temperature goes back to normal, they work again. Unlike denatured enzymes, which does not work even if the temperature goes back to normal.

Which of the following statements is TRUE?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: B (GTP serves as the energy input for AMP synthesis from IMP)

Explanation:

In the de novo synthesis of purine nucleotide, IMP represents a branch point for purine biosynthesis. IMP can be converted to either AMP or GMP.

The formation of AMP from IMP requires GTP; similarly formation of GMP requires ATP. The conversion of IMP to either AMP or GMP is highly regulated – AMP and GMP inhibits their own formation by feedback inhibition of adenlyosuccinate synthetase and IMP dehydrogenase.
