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.

Zygote, cleavage and hatching are embryogenic stages of fish, salamander, turtle and chicken.

Explanation:

The main embryogenic development stages of fish, salamander, turtle and chicken were zygote, cleavage and hatching. all these stages are present in these organisms which shows that fish, salamander, turtle and chicken are evolved from a single ancestor. Due to similar embryogenic development stages indicates close evolutionary relationships among these organisms.

The synthesis of nucleotides requires several amino acids. Sort each amino acid as a precursor in the synthesis of purines, pyri

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Glycine is required for purines, aspartate for pyrimidines, glycine and aspartate for both purines and pyrimidines. The remaining amino acids are not required for the synthesis.

Explanation:

Nucleotides are the monomer for the synthesis of DNA and RNA. The two main class of nitrogenous bases are purines and pyrimidines. These nitrogenous bases require the amino acids as a precursor for their synthesis.

Glycine is the simplest amino acid and required for the synthesis of purines. Aspartate is required for the synthesis of pyrimidines. Glutamine and aspartate are required for the synthesis of both purines and pyrimidines. Lysine, leucine, alanine, histidine, methionine, tryptophan and alanine are not used as a precursor for the nucleotides.
