Biology
1 answer:
irakobra [83]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) The free energy of the reactants is greater than the free energy of the products.

B) The equilibrium constant of the reaction is much greater than 1.

C) The shape and charge of the substrates are compatible with the active site of the enzyme.

D) The concentration of the enzyme inside living cells is greater than the concentration of substrate.

The answer is C

Explanation:

An enzyme is a proteinous molecule that increases the rate of reaction of a biochemical reaction in living organisms. However, a protein molecule contains amino acids which makes up it's primary structure. An enzyme performs it action by binding to it's substrate using it's active site.

An enzyme is substrate specific because the shape and charge of the substrates are compatible with the active site of the enzyme, where the reaction occurs. This means that an enzyme will not bind to any substrate that its active site does not recognize

Which of the following statements best describes the role of adenylyl cyclase in the epinephrine signaling pathway?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

It accelerates the production of a second messenger.

Explanation:

Adenylyl cyclase is an enzyme capable of converting ATP molecules into cyclic adenosine monophosphate AMP (cAMP). The cAMP molecule is considered to be a second messenger that transfers the hormonal signal (i.e., epinephrine) inside the cell. Subsequently, cAMP activates molecular signaling events by binding and thus activating cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). Finally, this last protein (PKA) phosphorylates different proteins that control many diverse cellular processes.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have been ______.
yawa3891 [41]
Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely evolved from engulfed prokaryotes that once lived as independent organisms.
(At some point, a eukaryotic cell engulfed an aerobic prokaryote, which then formed an endosymbiotic relationship with the host eukaryote, gradually developing into a mitochondrion. Eukaryotic cells containing mitochondria then engulfed photosynthetic prokaryotes, which evolved to become specialized chloroplast organelles).
