Enzymes are proteins and they control the speed of chemical reactions in your body. Without them, the reactions would happen too slowly to keep you alive. 
Some break down larger molecules into smaller ones and those enzymes are in your stomach.

HIV can remain latent for several years and not cause any symptoms in its host. What viral reproduction cycle is occurring durin
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The lytic cycle.

Explanation:

<u>HIV is a retrovirus</u> that has a special enzyme called transcriptase reverse, which can synthesize DNA using RNA as a template. This replication system is particularly useful for the virus because the DNA synthesized from the RNA viral genome can be then integrated into the human chromosomes and stay inactive for years. This is called a lysogenic cycle and is characterized by a latency of the virus and an integration to the host DNA.

When there is a triggering event, <u>this latent virus can be excised from the human chromosome and start producing copies of itself using the host machinery.</u> <u>Then the virions are assembled and after that they lyse the host cell and release new infective units that can then infect neighboring cells. </u>This is called the lytic cycle of the virus and is the reproduction cycle that occurs when a person moves into the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) stage of HIV infection.

How many ATP molecules will be required for conversion of 2-molecules of Lactic acid to Glucose?
KiRa [710]
In this situation, muscle cells ferment glucose to two molecules of lactic acid — again, with the net production of only two molecules of ATP per glucose molecule (Figure 16-6, left).

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) the rate of photosynthesis increases and then levels off.</em>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can be described as the process by which plants make their own food from carbon dioxide and water by using light energy from the Sun. Oxygen is produced as a by-product of this reaction.

As we increase the intensity of light, the rate of photosynthesis also increases. But after a certain time, the reaction rate will level off as there might be enough food produced or the light energy might have caused the temperature to rise which would have caused the enzymes to get denatured.

Can someone help me on this .
Ber [7]

Answer:

7) a. Absorbed: black surfaces absorb light, like in a playground.

b. Transmitted: when light falls on transparent objects, it is transmitted, goes straight through the object, like the clear glass of a window

c. Reflected: when light falls on a smooth, shiny object, it bounces off in one particular direction, like looking at the smooth surface of a lake
