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.

According to the Punnett square, 4/16       plants will have red flowers and green seeds.

So, (4 ÷16) × 100 = 25% chance of obtaining offspring with red flower and green seed.

Explanation: It's 100% right.

Rom4ik [11]

Amino acids, which serve as the "building blocks" of proteins, are disassembled. These tiny molecules can be absorbed through the stomach wall after being released.

<h3>Describe how the macronutrients in your diet are digested and then put back together to form the cell structure.</h3>

The principal macromolecules, from which all life is derived, are macrounits in our diet. The smaller subunits of these macromolecules must be broken down in order to be released. The circulatory system carries the digestively released components to the body's cells. These subunits serve as the building blocks for the macromolecules required for cellular structure and function, which are then put together by cells.

Proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates are examples of macromolecules.

The fact that all three macromolecules are hydrocarbons means that the majority of their atoms are made up of hydrogen and carbon.

Nitrogen atoms are found in proteins and in lipids.

Carbon atoms make up carbohydrates.

Simple carbohydrates are formed when complex carbohydrates are hydrated (by adding hydrogen and oxygen ions).

Dehydration of simple carbohydrates causes them to bind together in chains to create complex carbs. This can be reversed.
