Enzymes and their substrates are sometimes referred to as the lock and key model. what does this tell you about enzyme behavior

1 answer:

4 0

This tells us about the specificity of enzymes.

Since in the lock and key model, the lock is only suitable for one key to unlock, only one pattern of key is able to do that, so, to compare it with enzymes, it means that the active site of enzyme is only suitable to bind one type of substrate to it, not other substrates.

We call this property of enzyme the specificity of enzyme. If the active site of an enzyme is changed or loss its three dimensional patterns, it can no longer function as a biological catalysts to speed up chemical reactions.

Which type of population growth is shown in this graph? Population of Bacteria mc012-1.jpg

Maslowich

Answer : Binary Fission which grows exponentially.

Explanation : Binary fission actually means binary - consisting two and fission - cleavage into halves. It is one of the modes of asexual reproduction.

This type of fission is majorly observed in the asexual reproduction in prokaryotes. It is rarely seen in some some single-celled Eukaryotes like Amoeba and Paramecium.

Also, In binary fission there is DNA replication and segregation which occurs simultaneously.

This increases the graph exponentially as the growth gets faster and faster with the passing period of time.

A reference image of binary fission is attached in the answer.

Which of these provides the best evidence for the plate tectonic theory? (5 points)

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Seafloor spreading at the mid-ocean ridge provides the mechanism for tectonic plate movement. The Earth's mantle moves through convection, showing that tectonic plates are able to glide. The location of the plates was determined by locating their boundaries, using data on the Earth's magnetic field.
