Enzymes work in a way that is called nowadays as lock key system.

I'll give you an example to clarify how it works, wonder that you are a cow, that's crazy right? Okay, with that in mind, you can only eat grass, I don't know, you're a different cow, but within your body, you only have the enzyme that matches this kind of substrate, but how does that work? Easy, imagine a door, the lock is the enzyme, and the key is the substrate, in this case, grass, or even, cellulose, the door will only open easily with the right key right? But what if I eat something else? Well, imagine someone trying to break in the door, it's almost what's going to happen, or, you won't even digest it. Okay okay, but how does it lower the activation energy? I'll show you a graphic to make it easier to understand:

Easy right? Good luck with your studies, bye.

____are compounds that produce H+ ions in solution.

Answer:

An acid is a substance or compound that releases hydrogen ions (H+) when in solution. In a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), all hydrogen ions (H+), and chloride ions (Cl-) dissociate (separate) when placed in water and these ions are no longer held together by ionic bonding.

How do plants transport these micronutrients to the reproductive tissues (tissue)?

Trava [24]

What about transport you might ask well

in plants, how does a Redwood, one of the tallest trees in the world, move water from the soil to the needles on its tallest branches over 300 ft in the air? (That’s over 30 stories high!) Or how does a carrot transport the sugars made in its green, leafy tops below the surface of the soil to grow a sweet, orange taproot? Well, certain types of plants (vascular plants) have a system for transporting water, minerals, and nutrients (food!) throughout their bodies; it’s called the vascular system. Think of it as the plant’s plumbing, which is made up of cells that are stacked on top of one another to form long tubes from the tip of the root to the top of the plant. To learn more about it, let’s study the stem.

When a person has linked a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that now the neutral stimulus triggers the conditio

kramer

When a person has linked a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that now the neutral stimulus triggers the conditioned response, <u>acquisition</u> has occurred.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A trigger that in the beginning causes no specific answer other than attention concentration is understood as "a neutral stimulus". In operant conditioning the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus when used in combined way with an unconditioned stimulus.

Now let us say, for instance, you need to take your child to the pediatrician for a shot. The pediatrist hits a buzzer before the shot to call her nurse to come in and help her conduct the vaccine. Here the buzzer's noise is the neutral stimulus, as it generates no reaction from the infant, but the child knows that.
