This is due to the characteristic of specificity of the enzyme. Enzymes have active sites that only bind particular substrates which they catalyze. This is because the shape of the active site is complementary to that of the substrate  (like lock and key).

What is a communicable disease chain? what steps can a nurse can take to break a link within the communicable disease chain?
Kaylis [27]
<span>A diseases may be classified as either communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens who inhabit a host, man (I'm not saying man is the only host or man is necessarily the final host; there could be many host) who in turn passes the disease to another. Pathogens are viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. There are several stages before the pathogen metamorphoses into a full-blown disease. The stages in which several events happen builds up before the pathogen affects the final host is called a communicable disease chain. There are six stages ( Pathogen, reservoir, portal of ext, mode of transmission, portal of entry and susceptible host) in the communicable disease chain but the step a nurse shouod take is 1. Destroy the second link (Reservoir) by thoroughly sanitizing the environment. Obviously, this is where the Pathogens live. If the reservoir is taken care of; there's no way they could infect the host.</span>

The process of natural selection occurs randomly in nature. true or false
djverab [1.8K]
False in a sense because it is not random. It is just that some organisms have more advantageous characteristics than others. These genes are then passed on which makes the likelihood of the next generation surviving greater.

Seaweeds, shrimps, salmon

Some of these plants and animals are:

  1. Sea weeds: People might think that they do not consume sea weeds but it is actually present in most of our daily use products like toothpaste, ice creams and even in some automobiles. Many people from the world consume sea weeds as food. Hence, they are being raised in maricultures.
  2. Shrimps: Shrimps are favourite sea food among many people belonging to different areas. Hence, there population is declining due to which they need to be raised artificially.
  3. Salmon: The salmon is a kind of fish common to almost every nation. Hence, to meet the demands of people they need to be produced in maricultures.
