Biology

6 0

Answer:

b. They are a type of lipid  

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic molecules of a protein nature and act on the chemical reactions of cells as organic catalysts, ie, speed up the processes without changing them. They are usually the most effective catalysts for their high specificity. For this reason, we can assume that the letter A and the letter C are correct.

Enzymes have a specific substrate binding region. The region is called the active site, the conformation of this region forms a perfect and unique fit between a given enzyme and a substrate, usually by transient covalent bonds. For this reason, we can consider that the letter D is also correct.

As mentioned earlier, enzymes are protein molecules, so it is incorrect to say that enzymes are a type of lipid.

What is malaria?biology
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Malaria can be described as a disease which is caused by a parasitic organism. The Anopheles mosquito carries the parasite Plasmodium in it. When this mosquito bites a human being, the parasite gets transferred into the blood of the person causing malaria. Before entering the blood cells, the plasmodium travel to the liver where they get matured.

Malaria is a life-threatening disease which kills many humans each year, especially people living in underdeveloped countries.

A group of cells is assayed for DNA content immediately following mitosis and is found to have an average of 4 picograms of DNA
damaskus [11]

Answer:

b: 8;8

Explanation:

Mitotic or meiotic cell division constitute the m phase of the cell cycle. At the end of the m phase, the new cells enter the interphase stage of the cell cycle. The interphase is further sub-divided into;

  • <em>the G_0 phase,</em>
  • <em>the G_1 phase,</em>
  • <em>the S phase; and</em>
  • <em>the G_2 phase</em>.

The G_0 phase is essentially a resting phase. Cells that do not need to divide except when necessary move into this phase after exiting the m phase.

Actively dividing cells enter the G_1 phase after exiting the m phase. Cell development and growth takes place. From there, the cells enter the S phase where DNA replication/synthesis takes place. The cells then enter the G_2 phase where proteins are synthesized in preparation for division or m phase.

At the S phase, the amount of DNA a cell carries is doubled but the chromosome number remains the same. For example, if a cell enters the S phase with 2 g of DNA containing 10 chromosomes, at the end of S phase, the amount of DNA would have come 4 g while the number of chromosomes will remain 10.

Hence, if the average amount of DNA in the assayed cells immediately after mitosis is 4 picograms, the amount would be 8 picograms at the end of S phase and will still remains 8 picograms at the end of G_2 phase.

The correct option is b.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Transgenic

Explanation:

Recombinant DNA technology is used to make transgenic organisms. Genetic material from one specie is inserted into the genome of another thus modifying its characteristics. There are several ways of doing this including electroporation and transduction. This process is referred to as genetic engineering.
