Under physiological conditions, peptide bond formation and degradation both require enzymes, but only formation requires couplin
posledela

Answer:

thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable.

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows:

Under physiological conditions, peptide bond formation and degradation both require enzymes, but only formation requires coupling to GTP hydrolysis. Based on this information, peptide bonds under physiological conditions are:

A. both thermodynamically and kinetically stable.

B.thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable.

C.thermodynamically stable but kinetically unstable.

D. both thermodynamically and kinetically unstable.

  • The term thermodynamically unstable refers to the fact that the peptide bonds are prone to breakage under physiological conditions.
  • The reason why one can conclude the thermodynamic instability of the peptide bonds under physiological condition is that there is a need for a source of energy i.e. GTP hydrolysis for the formation of the peptide bond.
  • The fact that the breakage of peptide does not require any input of energy but the only formation does confirms the fact that under physiological conditions they are thermodynamically unstable.
  • Even though they are thermodynamically unstable, they are kinetically stable because both the formation and degradation require enzymes.
  • The function of enzymes is to decrease the activation energy and hence, increase the rate of reaction. This means that if the enzymes are absent the rate of breakage of peptide bonds would be really slow this points out to the fact that they are kinetically stable under physiological conditions.

Which structure is a sealed capsule of clear fluid that focuses light to the back of the eye? A. cornea B. iris C. lens D. retin
sasho [114]
The correct answer is C. lens. Lens is a convex sealed capsule containing a clear fluid and focuses light to the back of the eye. Iris is the colored part of the eye that contracts and expands under influence of ciliary muscle. Retina is the inner surface of back of eye. Cornea is a transparent and curved surface of eye that helps to focus light.

Rasek [7]

As most microbes reproduce asexually, "species" are defined by differences in their DNA sequences. when the genome of soil microbe a is analyzed, long stretches of genes from multiple species of other soil microbial species are discovered. This indicates that the microbes present in the soil underwent transformation and transfection. Transformation, shown in the image, is the process of the prokaryotic nucleus taking up the foreign DNA from other microbes present in the environment. Tranfection is like transformation but for the eukaryotic cells.
