Answer:

b. The active site can provide heat from the environment that raises the energy content of the substrate.

Explanation:

Enzymes are the biocatalysts that speed up the chemical reactions occurring inside the cells by lowering down the activation energy. Activation energy is the energy required to convert the substrates from their ground state into the transition state to facilitate the formation of products.

Enzymes favor the formation of transition state at lower temperatures by lowering down the activation energy and make the reactions to occur at lower temperatures. Substrates bind to the active sites, specific binding sites on enzymes. Active sites do not channelize the energy from the surroundings to the substrates.

The answer is B.

It doesn’t really make sense and isn’t something an enzyme does. Enzymes help chemical reactions occur. They don’t alter the intrinsic energy of a particular substrate.

The statement which correctly describes natural selection is (1) it favors the survival of certain members of the species and results in a change in the proportion of individuals with highly <span>adaptive traits.

Natural selection, by definition talks about the successful passing down of genes from older generations to younger generations. These then are better adapted to their environment. This is exactly what the first answer is about. </span>

4. What technique would a scientist use to produce many copies of a<br> desired piece of DNA?||

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

They can use a technique called Polymerase Chain Reaction. This can be done in a test tube or even in a organism. It usually relies on something called Thermostable DNA Polymerase and Taq polymerase. It requires DNA primers that is designed specifically for that DNA region (interest).

It is common to use ddNTPs (dideoxynucleoside triphosphates) for sequencing DNA because, when incorporated into a growing DNA po

Aliun [14]

Answer:

B. The ddNTPs lack a 3′ hydroxyl group.

Explanation:

Dideoxynucleotides is a family of inhibitors of the DNA polymerase, its official name is 2',3' dideoxynucleotides but they are commonly called ddNTPs. One of the main characteristics of this compound is the absence of the 3'-hydroxyl group in the deoxyribose, due to the absence of this group, it is impossible to form a phosphodiester bond between nucleotides and the DNA synthesis is stopped.

Electrically initiated Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) generally consist of four components. Those components are represented

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Electrically initiated Improvised Explosive Device (IED) generally consist of four component with the acronym PIES, the P stands for power sources which supplies electrical charge to the I; initiator contains a small amount of explosives such TNT or PETN which triggers the remaining amount of explosive, E is the explosive itself which is triggered into explosion by the initiator and finally the S, Swtich, example clock or a cell phone which determine the device explodes
