Each enzyme has a temperature at which it works best. A slight increase in temperature can increase enzyme activity while a larg

e increase in temperature can cause the enzyme to become denatured. Which of the following best explains what happens when a protein becomes denatured?
a. The enzyme absorbs heat until the temperature decreases, and the reaction then continues normally.
b. The enzyme loses its shape and is no longer able to catalyze chemical reactions.
c. The enzyme breaks apart into the amino acids that originally combined to form the enzyme.
d. The enzyme unfolds and refolds into a different shape, and is used to catalyze a different chemical reaction.

The correct option is B.
The shapes of enzymes are very important because their shapes determines the kind of chemical reactions that they can catalyse. This is because the substance been catalyzed must fit into the active sites of the enzyme that is been used. In a situation where an enzyme becomes denatured, such an enzymes losses its original shape and this remove from it the capacity to catalyze chemical reactions, thus, it becomes non functional.

Which body plan do you think is better, an endoskeleton or an exoskeleton? Defend your answer.
natima [27]

Answer:

I'd say an exoskeleton.

Explanation:

My main reason for saying this is because bugs with exoskeletons survive much better than bugs with endoskeletons or (surprise surprise) no skeletons. If your skeleton is outside your body, it protects everything inside you. Endoskeletons merely help hold you together.

What changes would you recommend to permit expression of this eukaryotic gene in a bacterial cell?
Lera25 [3.4K]

<span>Gene Expression is the progression wherein the information from a gene is used in the combination of a functional gene product. In eukaryotic cells, genes are delimited by repressors as well as by transcriptional activators. The repressors will muddle to the specific DNA sequences and will constrain transcription.</span>
