A.
conserve energy

The smaller muscle mass of the sloth, means that it needs less energy to work, allowing it to be able to survive on a less diet.
Most of their muscles are concentrated in their upper body, allowing them to be efficient climbers but very slow on the ground.

Explain why serine proteases do not catalyze hydrolysis if the amino acid at the hydrolysis site is a D-amino acid. Trypsin, for
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Explanation:

A protease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that tie polypeptide chains together, releasing individual amino acid subunits. The L and D nomenclature for amino acids defines the structure of the glyceraldehyde isomer through which the amino acid can be produced.

SEE BELOW FOR THE APPROPRIATE STRUCTURES.

We need to figure out why swine proteases hydrolyze L-amino acids but not D-amino acids in any way. we know that enzymatic catalysts act as polypeptides if you can recall. They must retain a very precise three-dimensional structure for a catalytic activity to occur. Substrates that do not quite match the required configuration at the active site will not be reacted to — this is a "lock and key" style.

The present exercise may be explained by the fact that the configuration and structure of D-amino acids prevent them from binding properly to the active site of the protease enzyme. Perhaps they're pointed in the wrong direction, or perhaps there happens to be missing electrical interaction that's needed to keep the substrate in position.

Nonetheless, L-amino acids, on the other hand, seem to have the right configurational aspects in the active site and are hydrolyzed.

algol [13]

Answer:

Do you think there is a quantitative relationship between transpiration rate and number or size of leaves on the stem? Explain your answer. Yes, the more leaves a plant has, means more stomata will be available for transpiration. ... Without light to facilitate photosynthesis, most plants close their stomata at night.

What are some characteristics of flowers that could attract the animals<br> that pollinate them?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Many flowers use visual cues to attract pollinators: showy petals and sepals, nectar guides, shape, size, and colour. I personally think it is very cool how they know what to do to attract pollinators.
