Enzymes act as organic catalysts in living things. how do enzymes affect reaction rates in cells?

Biology
1 answer:
Musya8 [376]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Enzymes allow many chemical reactions to occur within the homeostasis constraints of a living system. Enzymes function as organic catalysts. ... By bringing the reactants closer together, chemical bonds may be weakened and reactions will proceed faster than without the catalyst.

Which of the following neurotransmitters typically has inhibitory effects?
solmaris [256]

The correct answer is: A) GABA

GABA or γ-aminobutyric acid is a type of amino acid that's found in proteins. It is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain which means that GABA reduces neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. GABA binds to its receptors that are located on the neuron’s plasma membrane. This binding causes the opening of ion channels that transport chloride ions into the cell or potassium ions out of the cell.

Give three reasons why you might have a situation in which bacterial colonies were found on the first section of a streak plate,
Agata [3.3K]

Hi. You have not shown the sections this question refers to, nor have you provided more information about those sections. This makes it difficult for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

Generally speaking, we can consider that there was no growth of bacterial colonies in sections 2 and 3, because, for some reason, the bacteria was not inoculated in sections 2 and 3. What could also have happened, is that the bacteria in the sections 2 and 3 were eliminated, but the bacteria from section 1 managed to survive and form colonies.

Another possibility is that after inoculating the bacteria in section 1, you didn't handle the bacteria correctly in the other sections, leaving that bacteria to dry out and die.

Finally, the culture media in sections 2 and 3 could be inappropriate for bacteria to develop and form colonies.

Match each product of pyruvate metabolism with the condition under which it is produced. Drag each item to the appropriate bin.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Lactate: fermentation in human muscle

Ethanol: fermentation in yeast and bacteria

Acetyl CoA: aerobic oxidation

Explanation:

Lactate is produced in lactic fermentation in human muscle. Lactic fermentation in muscle cells is a process that occurs alternatively, in situations where the body does not perform aerobic respiration. Considered a short-term metabolic device, activated when the body is subjected to intense physical effort under conditions of low muscular oxygenation.

Alcoholic Fermentation, also known as ethanol fermentation, is the anaerobic pathway performed by yeast and some bacteria, in which simple sugars are converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Yeasts usually function under aerobic conditions, either in the presence of oxygen, but are also capable of functioning under anaerobic conditions, or in the absence of oxygen. When oxygen is not readily available, fermentation alcoholic beverages occur in the yeast cell cytoplasm.

Acetyl CoA results from aerobic oxidation. This process occurs in mitochondria during cellular respiration, where pyruvate, the product of glycolysis, can be substituted, and often is, by fatty acids. This is because pyruvic acid is used to form a compound called Acetyl Coenzyme A or Acetyl CoA. In this sense, Acetyl CoA can also be produced by the degradation of fatty acids by a reaction called β oxidation.

True or false: during stressful events, there is decreased blood supply to the skin, which results in "goose bumps."
Sonbull [250]
False.
In a stressful event, there will be a hormone released to the blood called adrenaline. Adrenaline hormone can prepare the body for fight or flight response. One of the effects of this hormone is making the muscle around hair called musculus arrector pili contracted. This contraction of the muscle is what causing the goosebumps. The decreased blood supply has no role in this event.

What is an effect of genetic drift on a gene pool?
Ahat [919]

Genetic drift happens by chance and can make an allele disappear completely from a gene pool, even if it was a desirable trait that should have been passed down to offspring. The random sampling style of genetic drift shrinks the gene pool and therefore alters the frequency the alleles are found in the population.
