How does the shape of an enzyme affect its function?

Each enzyme's active site is suitable for one specific type of substrate – just like a lock that has the right shape for only one specific key. Changing the shape of the active site of an enzyme will cause its reaction to slow down until the shape has changed so much that the substrate no longer fits.

An enzyme's shape directly affects how it catalyzes a reaction. Its shape is determined by the sequence of amino acids in its structure and the bonds that form between the atoms of those molecules.

Answer:

Scientific experiments need to be repeated so that scientists can make sure the results are as accurate as possible.

Explanation:

The point of a scientific experiment is to find the answer to a question. If a scientist performs an experiment only one time, they might find an answer to their question. However, they might have messed something up, so the answer is completely wrong. Doing an experiment momre than once can help a scientist make sure that their answer is correct. I hope this helps!

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

As with the hydrogen-ion concentration, the concentration of the hydroxide ion can be expressed logarithmically by the pOH. The pOH of a solution is the negative logarithm of the hydroxide-ion concentration. pOH=−log[OH−] The pH of a solution can be related to the pOH.
