Enzymes are classified and named according to the types of reactions they catalyze.

Explanation:

According to the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology nomenclature of enzyme classification, enzymes are classified depending upon the reactions they catalyze and how the reaction transforms the substrate and forms new products.

Based on the reactions:

Addition reaction (removal of a water molecule): hydrases or hydrolases like esterases, nucleases etc

Electron transfer reaction: Oxidases and dehydrogenases

Radical transfer reaction: Transglycosidases, transaminases, etc

Splitting or C-C bond formation: Desmolases

Structural or geometrical change: Isomerases

Hydrolysis of phosphate bonds to join molecules: Ligases

Based on the general principle of recommendations, enzymes are suffixed with –ase depending upon the catalytic reaction and substrate.

Cytotoxic t-cell subpopulations are specialized to combat intracellular pathogens, whereas helper t-cell subpopulations are specialized to combat extracellular pathogens.

Cytotoxic t-cell are CD8+ cells. Cytotoxic t-cell uses granzymes to kill intracellular bacteria, that lives in the cytosol such as viruses. They identify the pathogen forgein peptids that are bounded to MHC-I on the cell surface.

cd4+ T helper (Th) cells include Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells. They contribute to aliergic reactions and fighting extracellular parasites.

What do you think happened to both the elk and aspen tree populations as a result of removing wolves from the park?.

Answer:

When wolves were removed from the habitat, the elk thrived, causing a population increase. more elk means an increase in the need for food. The leaves of an aspen tree make good food for elk causing over-grazing and soon, the "aspen trees will be eaten out."
