How do enzymes affect chemical reactions in living organisms

Biology
1 answer:
Arisa [49]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Enzymes are catalysts for chemical reactions in living things. Enzymes, like other catalysts, lower the activation energy and increase the rate of chemical reac- tions. ... This means that enzymes do not change the direction of a reaction— they just change the amount of time needed for equilibrium to be reached.

Which of the following best describes ATP?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

B. It is the primary molecule in which cells store and use energy.

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is an energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living organisms. It provides the energy necessary for many functions, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, chemical processes, etc. It consists of three main structures:

  • the nitrogenous base called adenine
  • the sugar called ribose
  • a chain of three phosphate groups bound to ribose. This phosphate chain is the source of energy the cell uses.

Cloud [144]
<span>The mitochondria in eukaryotic cells originated from prokaryotic cells, bacteria that were once free-living. The mitochondria have their own DNA, which is inherited from the mother in most species. Similarly, plant cells have organelles called plastids which contain their own DNA and originated from free-living bacteria. The chloroplasts in plant cells, which convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy via photosynthesis, are a kind of plastid, and they originated from bacteria that could do photosynthesis.</span>

How does someone achieve a unified self?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

please mark me as brain list

Explanation:

The unified self is a flawed construct. Experience changes us, even at the core. People change us just by being with us. It doesn't have to be a long term relationship. Our minds may not have the plasticity they once had but we adapt daily to the people around us and, in a slower fashion, tide rather than waves rather than ripples, we the ebb and flow of experience changes the "I think" that creates our values and judgements, which changes the experiences we seek then have which again works on the way we view the world.

A possible reason we are able to change when we are with different types of people is that we have a certain number of roles at our disposal. I've noticed this, on an extreme level, with some coworkers. I wondered how they could change so much when they got to the office. They'd suddenly become very business-like and at first I thought they were play acting. They were, in a sense, but I believe their identity changed when they walked through the office door. They were no longer the guy or girl I'd just ridden to work with, they were such and such part of the hierarchy and their behavior wasn't all a put on, though some of everyone's behavior in every role is, it was who they were then.

It took being asked to take a work related personality test that clued me in. The test results came back. One part of results outlined our scores for introversion/extroversion scores at home and at work. The scale was -50 to +50 where the score determined one's level of introversion (-) or extraversion (+). I scored -33 at home and a +33 at work. The automatic scoring algorithm suggested that it was likely I was under a lot of internal stress because of this. I was. I used to have dry heaves when I transitioned from work to home. That part of the results wasn't the only part rang true though so I took it seriously.

How close the roles we play with different people are to each other might be an indicator of how unified we are. If you were to scale our unification factor from 0 to 1 I would have been considered a 0.33 based on my introversion/extraversion scores, if that was the only score that mattered. More things the behavior than others matters, of course. Perhaps people who are very different in differing situations experience more cognitive dissonance. It would be interesting knowing.
