Answer:

D) cofactor necessary for enzyme activity.

Explanation:

Carboxypeptidase is an enzyme found in the digestive system whose function is to hydrolyze a peptide bond in the terminal carbon of a protein. Said enzyme contains a zinc atom in its active site and when losing a zinc atom it would lead to loss of the activity of the enzyme, making it of great importance for the activity of the enzyme.

Which part of the cell is selectively permeable? Why does it say so?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

cellular membranes

Explanation:

Cellular membranes are selectively permeable because they allow only certain molecules to cross into and out of the cell. The phospholipid bilayer is a selectively permeable membrane that surrounds all biological cells. The movement of molecules across the cell membrane bilayer can occur by passive transport (does not require energy) or active transport (requires energy). For example, water molecules pass passively through the cell membrane (passive transport), while other molecules pass through transmembrane proteins against a concentration gradient (active transport).

crimeas [40]

The given blank can be filled with the production of endorphins.

The endorphins are the hormones, which are responsible for the activation of the opiate receptors in the body. They are the natural pain killers. The activation of the opiate receptors causes the analgesic effects on the body.  

These endorphins are secreted in the brain and the nervous system. The effect of the endorphins is similar to that of the morphine.
