Answer:

Rigid and non flexible surface

Explanation:

Enzymes are catalyst that speeds up rate of chemical reactions, they bind to a substrate which are known as reactant substrate to speed up rate of chemical reaction and to unlock the key.

The enzyme is said to be rigid and non flexible fitting perfectly to the surface of the substrate where the reaction takes place. Fitting perfectly enable the enzyme to perform its action on the substrate unlocking the key and activating the action in the molecule.

PLEASE HELP ME <br> What are the steps to photosynthesis
RoseWind [281]

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, molecules in leaves capture sunlight and energize electrons, which are then stored in the covalent bonds of carbohydrate molecules. That energy within those covalent bonds will be released when they are broken during cell respiration. How long lasting and stable are those covalent bonds? The energy extracted today by the burning of coal and petroleum products represents sunlight energy captured and stored by photosynthesis almost 200 million years ago.

Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis. Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs (“self-feeders using light”). Other organisms, such as animals, fungi, and most other bacteria, are termed heterotrophs (“other feeders”) because they must rely on the sugars produced by photosynthetic organisms for their energy needs. A third very interesting group of bacteria synthesize sugars, not by using sunlight’s energy, but by extracting energy from inorganic chemical compounds; hence, they are referred to as chemoautotrophs.

When the food passes through your stomach and into your small intestines during digestions
Anastaziya [24]

After you eat it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass thorough your stomach and small intestine. Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion absorption for water and finally elimination of undigested food. It takes 36 hours for food to move through the entire colon.
