Enzymes are typically composed of amino acids.

Enzymes specifically binds to their substrate, and accelerate the biological or in-vitro reactions.

Four real-life examples of enzymes are: Lipase, Maltase, DNA ploymerase and Alcohol dehydrogenase.

Explanation:

All enzymes are proteins. They are composed of amino acids as monomer units linked by polypeptide bonds.

The substrate is a molecule which has specific enzyme binding sites for the highly specific enzyme called as active sites. With this binding, the  enzyme-substrate complex is formed, undergoes the chemical reaction and new product is formed. Enzymes accelerate the biological reactions by lowering the reaction's activation energy.

Four-real life examples of enzymes are:

Lipase enzyme: catalyses the hydrolysis of fats and triglycerides in the small intestine. Lipase enzyme is secreted by pancreas.

Maltase enzyme: catalyses the breakdown of maltose sugar. It is secreted by salivary glands and our mouths.

DNA Polymerase Enzyme: It catalyses the DNA replication in the cells. It is secreted by the nucleus

Alcohol dehydrogenase: It catalyses many reactions in the body as the reduction of NAD to NADH. It is secreted by the liver.

Is the energy used by cells for work. It is produced within the_(organelle)
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

ATP, Mitochondria, Cellular respiration.

Explanation:

The Krebs cycle of, cellular respiration, in the mitochondria results to the an accumulation of protons in the inter-membrane space of the organelle. This proton motive force is harnessed in the electron transport chain by ATP synthase to generate ATPs.

Plant hormonal regulation differs from animal hormonal regulation in that _____. plant hormonal regulation differs from animal h
Pani-rosa [81]
I believe that plant hormonal control differs from animal hormonal control in that there are no separate hormone-producing organs in plants as there are in animals.  Hormones regulate cellular processes in targeted cells locally and moved to other locations, in other function parts of the plant. Hormones also determine the formation of flowers, stems, leaves, the shedding of leaves, and the development and ripening of fruit. Plants unlike animals they lack glands that produce and secrete hormones and instead each cell is capable of producing hormones.

To check whether Earnest and Denise could have a baby with Type O blood, draw a Punnett square for a father who has blood Type A
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Answer is explained below and also see the document attached below for Punnett square.

Explanation:

ABO blood type (A, B, AB, or O) is based on the presence (or absence) of the A and B antigens in the red blood cells. The blood type, A has only the A antigen (and has anti-B antibodies) while the blood type, B has only the B antigen (and had anti-A antibodies). Also in the AB  blood type, both A and B antigens are present (but has no antibodies) while in the O blood type, both A and B antigens are absent (but has both antibodies).

The blood type is inherited from the parents and the offspring inherits one of the two alleles from each parent. The ABO blood type has three types of alleles: IA, IB, and i. Here, I is a term for antigen (isoagglutinogen).

The IA and IB alleles are dominant while the i allele is recessive. The blood type A is formed by either two IA alleles (IA IA ) or IA i. So, the genotype of blood type A is IA IA  or IA i. The blood type B is formed by either two IB alleles (IB IB ) or IB i. So, the genotype of blood type B is IB IB or IB i. The O blood type is formed only by two i alleles (ii). So, the genotype of blood type O is ii. The IA and IB alleles (IA IB) give the AB blood type, which is an example of codominance (the traits of both the alleles are visible in the phenotype). The genotype of blood type AB is IA IB.  

If the parents have blood type A and B, then they can have an AB blood type offspring. If the parents have blood type A and B and they both are heterozygous (IB i and IA i), then they can also have a O blood type child.

Here, the father has blood Type A (IA i genotype) while the mother has blood Type B (IB i genotype). Both the parents are heterozygous (IB i and IAi), so the possible genotypes of their child are IA IB (blood type AB), IA i (blood type A), IB i (blood type B) and ii (blood type O).

i.e.,            <u> Blood Type </u>                             <u>Genotype </u>

                           A                                     IA IA or IA i

                           B                                     IB IB or IB i

                          AB                                        IA IB

                           O                                            ii

What is it called when the forest remains but its richness and well-being have deteriorated?
ira [324]

Answer: Biodiversity loss

Explanation:

The biodiversity can be defined as the variety of life forms on earth or any other region. The forests are rich sources of biodiversity. The hunting, poaching, animal trafficking, and other ill-legal related human activities are like to reduce the species richness in forests. As many species are dependent upon other species for food, mate and other requirements for completing the life cycle thus the well-being of the forests will get deteriorated by the loss of biodiversity.
