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.

The Grey Cat.
zubka84 [21]

Hypothesis: There is a synchrony between the time the bus passes over the hill, the time the cat is positioned on the bench and the time I talk to the cat.

An experiment will be established to prove or deny this hypothesis. This experiment will try to answer if there is a synchrony between the bus, the cat and me.

First, I will write down the time I usually leave the house for the bus stop and then I will look for a schedule of the buses in my city, to evaluate the times when each one passes above the hill to which I refer.

It is necessary that I clock the time spent between my home and the bus stop to which I am going, so that I can relate to the bus schedule.

I must also install a camera system at the bus stop to observe the times the cat arrives at that location.

Every day, for a month, I will write down the time I left home, the time I arrived at the bus stop, the time the cat arrived at the bus stop and the time the bus passed. At the end of this period, I will do average calculations to find out how many times our schedules have been synchronized. Through these data I will conclude whether the hypothesis is false or true.
