irakobra [83]2 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

Do all the days of the year have the same amount of daylight? yes or no how?
Ket [755]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Atmospheric refraction raises the sun about 1/2 degrees upward in our sky at both sunrise and sunset. This advances the time of actual sunrise, while delaying the time of actual sunset. This gives several minutes of extra daylight, not just at an equinox.

Discuss four ways a scientist can reduce bias in scientific investigations.​
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Three ways a scientist can reduce bias include: 1) Sampling a larger pool (assuming the subjects are human) in order to broaden recorded data. 2) Making sure to sample more than one group. This means to not just sample one's friends, etc.

Definition: This is the unequal distribution of ions across a cell membrane.
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: This is the definition and example of Osmosis.

Explanation: Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a region of high concentration of solvent to a less concentration of solvent, thus making the concentrations on each side of the membrane equal.

The cell membrane is also a selectively permeable membrane which allows only certain substances to pass through it. Mostly molecules move from a side where their concentration is high to a side where their concentration is less to make the concentration equal on both sides.
