Enzymes are classified and named according to the<u> types of reactions they catalyze.</u>

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.

Match the human activity with its effect on groundwater.
fgiga [73]

Answer:

3. Household wastes

2. Landfills

1. Agriculture

Explanation:

The groundwater is more and more contaminated, and there are numerous ways in which the contamination occurs. The causes of pollution mainly come from the human activities. The humans use all sorts of chemicals, fossil fuels, paints, and often there is waste from them, waste that is dumped into the drainage, and occasionally reaches the groundwater. The leaking of linings also manages to cause lot of damage, as very often it can reach the groundwater, causing heavily contamination of it. The agriculture, as much as it is needed, is a big polluter too, and the pollution mainly comes from the usage of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, which wash through the soil and end up in the groundwater.

What is the role of the protein pumps?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Pumps, also called transporters, are transmembrane proteins that actively move ions and/or solutes against a concentration or electrochemical gradient across biological membranes. One moves with the concentration gradient (high to low) which powers the movement of the other against the gradient (low to high).
