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

Increased force output of the synergists for hip extension to compensate for the weakened gluteus maximus is an example of which
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

b. Synergistic dominance

Explanation:

The stabilizing muscles will always be <u>synergistic</u>, since only from the synergies (hence the term synergist) that arise from joint work is efficient and controlled movement possible. However, not all synergists will be stabilizers. Stabilizer will be one that, thanks to the geometric arrangement of its fibers, will have the ability to maintain alignment in the joint and stable the axis of rotation.

In the case of knee extension, we would have as stabilizers all the antagonists who, because the flexion axis is virtual and not physical, must maintain the stability of said axis. If the axle were physical, such as the wheel in a horse carriage, or on a skateboard through the bearings, the antagonistic muscles would not be necessary for this purpose, because the fixed axis would maintain the position. Since the joints of living beings do not have a fixed physical axis, it is the muscles themselves, specifically the antagonists, who must be responsible for maintaining the stability of the joint creating a virtual axis on which rotation occurs.

Answer:

evolution

Explanation:

For example, scientists believe that monkeys have evolved to become humans.

This clearly has happened over many millions of years.

Monkeys look really different from humans (don't you think!?).

This was just a random example that came to my head.

Hope this helps.
