Explain why an enzyme can no longer function once it has been denatured

Biology

OLga [1]3 years ago
7 0
All enzymes are proteinaceous in nature, hence there must be a structural organisation of the protein molecule. The specific structure of the protein of the enzymes is important for the activity of an enzyme.Therefore, once an enzyme structure is destroyed due to any condition such as temperature, pressure or salinity, the enzyme become no longer functional. The active site of an enzyme become lost due to denaturation, hence unable to bind with the substrate molecule for its activity.

The amount of available energy changes between the trophic levels found in a food chain or energy pyramid. Photos (left to right
Aliun [14]

Answer;

A. leaf to mouse

Explanation;

-Considering the fact that the amount of energy at each trophic level reduces as it moves through an ecosystem from the lowest trophic level which happens to be producers (plants).  And about 10 percent of this  energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level since the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

-It means that the lower the trophic level the higher the energy obtained, for instance from producers to primary consumers, more energy is passed since it is the first passage of energy.

Genetically engineered pork has a higher flesh-to-bone ratio. Which of the following sentences explains how pork is genetically
Oksanka [162]
The answer is A)<span> the desired gene is inserted into the genomes of the pork.

</span>

The techniques of genetic engineering are used to introduce hybrid genes for some desired substance or protein or trait into other organisms. Here, the desired gene is inserted into pork's genome and as a result, it has a <span>higher flesh-to-bone ratio</span><span>.</span>

<span>- B) is not the right answer because it is not necessary to change all the genes in the pork genome or it will be transformed into totally different organism.</span>

<span>- C) is not the right answer because the pork does not have plasmids.</span>
