Answer:
Penicillin binds and inhibits bacterial enzyme DD-transpeptidase.
Explanation:
Penicillin is made up of 4 rings of β-lactam and acts by binding to DD-transpeptidase of bacteria. The DD-transpeptidase facilitates the cross-linking of the peptidoglycan cell wall of bacteria. This leads to malformation of the protective cell wall of the bacteria and causes it to lyze and die.
Answer: Option C.
C)the tails of plant lipids cannot pack as tightly together as animal ones
Explanation:
The tails of plant lipids cannot pack as tightly together as animal ones because the double bond in plant lipids make the hydrocarbon chains to bend making them no to pack tightly together which cause a reduction in van der Waals interaction between the fatty acids. The length of the double bond also affect the melting point of fatty acids . If the hydrocarbon chain is long, melting point will be high .
I believe you're looking for "chemical digestion".
Chemical digestions is where food that we ate is digested into simpler and soluble molecules that can be absorbed by our body. Enzymes are used as a catalyst to speed up the reaction.
One example is the digestion of lipids. Enzyme named lipase is used to speed up the digestion of lipids into 3 fatty acid molecules and 1 glycerol. This way, our body can absorb these simple molecules, and use them in order to make our body function.
On the other hand, physical digestion does not include enzymes, such as chewing in our mouth, therefore, don't mix them up!
