A substance that releases hydroxyl ions in water is a base. Acids on the other hand release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, while salts release sodium. To define acids and bases the Arrhenius definition is used by scientists---this describes what substances are produce by each type of solutions. Under the Arrhenius definition salt and water can be used to predict the result of the neutralization of an acid with a base.

In Chemistry, Bronsted-Lowry definition has superseded the Arrehenius definition.

Explain the role of enzymes as biological catalysts that lower the activation energy of a reaction.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Enzymes are one kind of protein which functioning as catalyst  that speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.Enzyme accelerate a reaction without altering its chemical equilibrium.

Explanation:

Energy which is required for  start a biochemical reaction is called activation energy.Activation Energy helps to jump and start a thermodynamically favorable reactions.

Enzymes can  many  way to its activation energy.

1. The enzyme may hold the substrates in such a way as to distort the substrate bonds closer to their form in the transition state. This reduces the amount of energy needed to complete the transition.

2.Enzyme create a charge distributor which opposite of transition state his lowers the energy of the transition state and decreases the activation energy.

3.The enzyme may reduce the reaction entropy   by bringing substrates together in the correct orientation to react.

4. The enzyme may provide a completely different chemical pathway for the reaction. It may form new bonds in the ES complex that would be difficult to form without the enzyme.

Why do we want to turn genes off or on?
Dmitrij [34]

The process of turning off and on of genes is known as gene regulation.

Explanation:

When the gene is turned on, it instructs the cells to construct a particular protein. The proteins are the molecules that build your body with collagen, tendons, and bones or keratin in your hair.

The gene regulatory proteins allow the individual genes of an organism to be turned on or off . in different cell types there are different selections of gene regulatory proteins. The patterns of the gene expression gives each cell its unique characteristics.

Each cell produces or turns on only a fraction of its genes. the remaining genes are repressed or turned off. this process is known as gene regulation. The signals from the environment or from other cells activate proteins called transcription factors.
