Some proteins catalyze biochemical reactions. If a genetic defect prevented a protein catalyst from being produced which of the

following would happen in a cell?
A. the cell would find a different type of protein to catalyze the reaction.
B. The reaction the protein catalyzes would proceed very slowly or not at all.
C. The reaction the protein catalyzes would only occur in some places in the cell.
D. The reverse reaction of the one the protein catalyzes would begin to proceed.

I believe option B would be the correct choice because, without a catalyst, the reaction will be either too slow or will not happen at all as it would not acquire a fitting activation energy for the reaction. 
If you would like to know why the other options are incorrect, please read on: 
Option A is incorrect because since proteins are specific in nature, so other protein cannot be replaced, for some other chemical reaction. 
Option C is not correct it is a genetic defect that the protein does not form, and all cells are genetically identical, a reaction cannot take place in any parts of the body. 
And finally, option D would be wrong because if a forward reaction does not take place, a backwards reaction will not occur. 
I hope this answer has helped, and I apologise if somehow this answer finds itself to be incorrect. Good luck on your quiz or homework. :)

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

there must be large numbers of free amino acids present in the cytoplasm

Explanation:

<em>In order for translation to occur, </em><em>there must be a large number of free amino acids in the cytoplasm.</em>

<u>These free amino acids are usually carried by the transfer RNA which also carries the corresponding mRNA codon.</u>

During translation, as the codons in the mRNA match their complements in the tRNA, the amino acid being carried by the tRNA is released and a peptide bond is formed between subsequent amino acids until the required polypeptide bond is formed.

Translation and transcription only occur simultaneously in prokaryotic cells where there is no barrier between the cell's genetic materials and the cytoplasm, unlike in eukaryotic cells where the genetic materials are housed in the membrane-bound nucleus.

In people who are regularly physically active, extra fat consumed in the diet is stored first in In people who are regularly phy
Anton [14]

Answer:

In muscle tissue

Explanation:

People who exercise daily, their metabolism rate is very high and the consume sugar, proteins and fat as a substrate for providing ATP molecules. The ATP molecules are then utilized by the body to perform physical work.

The physically active people when they require fat in their diets, the fats first will be stored in the muscle tissue as the cells there will use fat as a substrate for providing a large amount of energy that is 1 g of fat will provide 9 kcal.

Thus, muscle tissue is the correct answer.

What processes occur during G2 phase? Choose all which apply.
Inessa [10]

Explanation:

the last part of interphase is called the G2 phase. The cell has grown, DNA has been replicated, and now the cell is almost ready to divide. This last stage is all about prepping the cell for mitosis or meiosis. During G2, the cell has to grow some more and produce any molecules it still needs to divide.

The half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years. If you start with 10 atoms of
Andreas93 [3]
A) 5

Half-life is the time it will take for a quantity to reduce to half its initial value. In this case, uranium will undergo radioactive decay, and after 700 mil years, 5 of the 10 uranium atoms will have decayed.
