Answer:

specificity

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins with high specificity, ie each catalyzes only one type of chemical reaction, or a small number of reactions. This is due to its shape, which presents on the surface molecular fittings, the active sites or centers where the substrates or reagents attach. An example of this is the ability of an enzyme to select a specific substrate from the myriad of molecules floating around its environment.

Therefore, substrates other than those that fit into the active sites of a specific enzyme cannot be part of that reaction, there must be another enzyme to catalyze its reaction. The specificity of enzymes for their substrates is similar to the specificity between a lock and its key.

Answer:

This is by co enzymes NADH and FADH2(adenine dinucleotide hydrogen and falvin adeninedinucleotide hydrogen. They are the co-enzymes that convey (electrons in )hydrogen atoms from the Kreb's cycle to the matrix of the  mitochondria.They are not enzymes,but rather, enhances the work of enzymes.

These co enzymes are oxidized by the loss of hydrogen atoms.The hydrogen spits into electrons and protons in the matrix.The protons is pumped into the intramembranes by the proton motive force produced from the  electron transport chains,and returned to the  matrix, to generate electrochemical gradient needed for  energy to be used by ATPase synthase for ATPs production

An example of chemical digestion is the breakdown of __________ into __________.
vodomira [7]
starch into glucose
proteins
into amino acids
lipids
into fatty acids

There are many more examples of chemical digestion which takes place in the body. Chemical digestion is the breaking of larger more complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones that can be taken up by the cells more easily and readily by the use of chemical agents.. Chemical digestion is carried out primarily using biological molecules called enzymes. For example, the breakdown of starch is done by an enzyme known as amylase, which is present in the saliva.

What is the significane of a gene promoter and why is it important
Serhud [2]
This Allows organisms such as bacteria to rapidly adjust their transcription patterns in response to environmental conditions. in addition regulatory sites on prokaryotic DNA are typically located close to transcription promoter sites - and this plays an important part in gene expression
