Answer:
A- A pH change can cause the enzyme to change its shape
Explanation:
A rise or fall in the pH of the medium from the optimum of pH 7 usually affect the enzymes' active sites of and therefore the shape and the rate of enzyme activity.
Assuming the pH is too low, the enzyme medium becomes acidic;Acidosis. The high Hydrogen ions concentration interacts with the R-groups of the amino acids moiety of the enzymes, this interaction affects the ionization of the R-groups, disrupting the ionic bonding holding these R-groups in shape.
This results in loss of the 3-Dimensional shape arrangements of the protein molecule and therefore of the active sites. Since active sites of enzymes determines the specificity of the <u>enzymes substrate- complex </u> to give <u>enzyme-product complex,</u> the catalytic activity of the enzymes decreases, <u>the rate of reaction decreases,and products formation stops, and the reaction also stops.</u>
The same is applicable to extremely high pH=Alkalosis.
However, the effective buffer system of the body prevents this scenarios from happening in real sense in the body. Through mopping by the haemoglobin, excretion by the kidney, etc
Conifer tree is the tree that the leaf is slender like needle, it is evergreen tree more, material is general softer, some contain colophony , reason calls soft material again, its grows in elevation 100 ~ 1500 meters commonly, have economy and ornamental value.Conifers appeared 280 million years ago before any other trees.Conifers are believed to be the oldest trees on earth。
Answer:
four
Explanation:
Carbon atoms have four electrons in their outer shell. So, it exhibits tetravalency & thus, a single carbon atom can form a maximum of four (4) bonds with other atoms
