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.

Answer:

<em>The overuse of pesticides</em>

Explanation:

Pesticides are usually sprayed on plants so that the pest organisms can be killed. But these chemicals sprayed on plants can be toxic for humans when humans consume crops which have been sprayed with pesticides. Also, erosion causes these toxic chemicals to get eroded in the nearby lakes. The chemicals in the pesticides are harmful for every life that uses this water. Hence, the overuse of pesticides might kill pests but it is also toxic for consumption by humans.

What is the purpose of fit check technique for masks? essay question
anygoal [31]

Tight-fitting respirators must seal to the wearer’s face in order to provide expected protection. This includes disposable respirators (also called “filtering facepieces”). Therefore, fit testing is required in the US by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) before a user wears a mandatory respirator on the job, and must be assessed at least annually. In addition, fit tests should be performed:

Whenever a different size, style, model or make of respirator is used.

When any facial changes occur that could affect fit, such as significant weight fluctuation or dental work.

A good fit means the respirator will seal to your skin. A respirator can only work when air passes through the filter. Air will take the path of least resistance, so if the seal isn’t there, the air will go around rather than through the respirator – and therefore lessen the protection.

Safety glasses, hearing protection, face shields, hard hats and coveralls can all vie with a respirator for real estate on a person’s face, head or body. For instance, if a half face respirator doesn’t fit well (especially if it’s too large), it can overlap with glasses. The more that happens, the more fogging can potentially occur on glasses, and the more likely it is that they’ll interfere with the respirator’s seal.

Vitamin C is best known for its role in preventing scurvy. It also is critical in the formation and maintenance of this protein
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Collagen

Explanation:

Vitamic C or ascorbic acid acts as a cofactor in the process of collagen synthesis. It has been shown that lack of vitamin C leads to the impaired collagen synthesis. Beside that activity, vitamin C has many other funtions within organism:

  • antioxidant
  • cofactor in other enzymes
  • involved in wound healing (repair of tissue)
  • involved in the production of some neurotransmitters...
