Why do organisms need enzymes to survive?

1 answer:

4 0

Digestive enzymes speed up reactions that break down large molecules of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into smaller molecules the body can use. Without digestive enzymes, animals would not be able to break down food molecules quickly enough to provide the energy and nutrients they need to survive

Enzyme hot spring graphing what enzymes probably came from the digestive tract of the mondoni

AURORKA [14]

I found the full exercise on the internet and it describes that there are three enzymes and you want to know which are the two enzymes from the digestive tract of the mondoni and which one is the enzyme from a hot spring.
Attached are two graphs from the analysis of the activity of these enzymes regarding temperature and pH. I found these graphs with the full exercise.
The enzymes that probably came from the digestive tract of the mondoni were enzymes A and B. These enzymes were resistant two lower levels of pH which indicates that they could be present in a digestive tract, which tends to be acidic, while the enzyme C does not tolerate lower pH levels. Enzymes A and B were also more active when in lower temperatures that match temperatures of a normal living organism, whereas enzyme C was more active in higher temperatures matching its probable provenience - a hot spring.

Scientists cannot define life, but they can list characteristics that are true of all life

pychu [463]

What are you asking for here? we need a solid question not a statement.

i'd say that the statement is true. we cant define life because we do not know what life, in essence, is. we can define, however, the characteristice of all living things:
Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity

Nutrition
Excretion
Reproduction
Growth

<h3>What is the Hox genes and evolution?</h3>

Hox proteins are a family of transcription factors that have undergone extensive conservation. They were first identified in Drosophila for their crucial functions in regulating segmental identity along the antero-posterior (AP) axis.

The regionalization of the AP axis and changes in the expression patterns of these genes have been strongly correlated during the past 30 years across a wide range of evolutionarily distinct species, indicating that Hox genes have been essential in the evolution of new body plans within Bilateria.

Despite this extensive functional conservation and the significance of these genes for AP patterning, many important concerns about Hox biology remain.
