OLga [1]2 years ago

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.

If you wanted to see a cell wall, where could you look?.
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

A cell wall is a structural layer surrounding some types of cells, just outside the cell membrane. It can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid. It provides the cell with both structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.

Explanation:

A cell wall is a rigid, semi-permeable protective layer in some cell types. This outer covering is positioned next to the cell membrane (plasma membrane) in most plant cells, fungi, bacteria, algae, and some archaea.

If the theory of evolution were true it would not be possible to classify organisms into distinct categories.
Alenkinab [10]
TRUE!!!! Idk if this answer is actually for a quiz, but for my opinion and belief, it would be impossible to classify animals and organisms if all of this came from an accident. If this question is for a quiz though, I assume that they will expect you to say False. Mostly to defend their belief. So it's really up to you on what you're gonna go with.
