Answer:
D. The side chains of D-Arg and D-Lys are not positioned to bind correctly at the active site
Explanation:
Stereospecificity is the ability to distinguish between stereoisomers of of a particular compound. L- and D- structures of compounds in living organisms are usually present in only one form due to stereospecificity. For example, naturally occuring amino acids in proteins are usually present as L-isomers.
Since enzyme are proteins, their active sites are composed of L-amino acid and they show stereospecificity in the reactions they catalyze. In their binding sites, only substrates complementary in structure can bind in order for catalysis to proceed. Therefore, only amino acids in the L- configuration are complementary to the active site of enzymes.
In the case of serine proteases, The side chains of -Arg and D-Lys will not be positioned properly for binding at the binding site of serine proteases, therefore, no catalysis will occur. On the other hand, L-Arg and L-Lys can bind to the catalytic site of serine proteases since they are complementary fits to the active site of the enzymes.

The answer is Eukaryotic cells.
hope I helped
Answer:
A meso compound is a non-optically active member of a set of stereoisomers, at least two of which are optically active.
Time taken for star to reach Earth = 7.5 years
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
7.5 light years(distance Earth-star)
Required
Time taken
Solution
Speed of light=v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
1 light years = 9.461 × 10¹⁵ m= distance(d)
So time taken for 1 light years :
time(t) = distance(d) : speed(v)
t = 9.461 × 10¹⁵ m : 3 x 10⁸ m/s
t = 3.154 x 10⁷ s = 1 years
So for 7.5 light years, time taken = 7.5 years
