What is the chemical reaction used to study enzyme activity in the lab (lactase breaking down lactose into its monomers). Know t
Bas_tet [7]

Answer: The chemical reaction in this example is Called hydrolysis in the presence of Lactase

Here is a word equation for the hydrolysis of lactose:

lactose + water → galactose + glucose

Explanation: The equation is called <hydro> + <lysis) of these terms refer to water and splitting respectively. So hydrolysis means splitting with water. Enzymes pull out a monomer by examining where the monomers are connected, and placing a water molecule in between them, resulting in the breakage of the bond between the monomers. Here are two picture to represent it.

The characteristics of the active site microenvironment of an enzyme can be largely independent of individual catalytic mechanis
Valentin [98]

Answer: (1) Providing an optimized orientation of the substrate.

(2) Decreasing the ∆G in reaction.

(3) Excluding excess water.

Explanation: The active sites of enzymes increase the rate of reaction because they decrease the activation energy of the reaction,and the physical microenvironment provides an optimal orientation of the substrate relative to reactive functional groups while excluding excess solvent,such as water.

Although some active sites may have amino acids that form salt bridges with the amino acids from a substrate,not all do, so this is not a generic strategy of active site microenvironments

Which of the following substances would have the most trouble crossing a biological membrane by diffusing through the lipid bila
tangare [24]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

d. Na+

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • The cell membrane's main trait is its selective permeability, which means that it allows some substances to cross it easily, but not others.
  • <em><u>Small molecules that are non-polar (have no charge) can cross the membrane easily through diffusion, but ions (charged molecules) and larger molecules typically cannot.</u></em>
  • Charged ions  such as N+ and K+ Cannot permeate the cell membrane for the since uncharged molecules repel uncharged molecules present in the membrane structure.

When it comes to foraging for food, name three ways in which herbivores may partition their niches.
mylen [45]

Answer:

In interspecies competition, two species use the same limited resource. Competition has a negative effect on both of the species (-/- interaction). A species' niche is basically its ecological role, which is defined by the set of conditions, resources, and interactions it needs (or can make use of).

List in the order they occur in during the development of red blood cells.
Serhud [2]

Stem cells arise from the inner mass of the cell

Signalling factors trigger differentiation in stem cells

Genes that lead to the production of undifferentiated blood cells are activated

Signalling factors cause undifferentiated blood cells to produce red blood cells

Explanation:

Red blood cells are formed in the bone marrow. The precursor to the RBC is stem cell which is undifferentiated and pluripotent. The stem cell gets differentiated to form immature RBCs. Immature RBC then gets divided and becomes mature. Stem cell giving rise to RBC is called Haemoctytoblast. The process of erythropoiesis takes 2 days to form new  red blood cells
