What is an enzyme and how does it work?

Biology
1 answer:
Yuliya22 [10]2 years ago
5 0
All of the work being done in side of a cell is being done by enzymes. A bacterial like E.coli has about 1,000 enzymes floating in the cytoplasm at about any time. The purpose of a enzyme in a cell is to allow the cell to carry out any chemical reactions very quickly. the reactions allow the cell to build or take things apart as needed. This is how the cell grows and reproduces. Hopefully my answer helps a little!

A student claims that cellular respiration is essential to cells so that they have a means for getting rid of excess carbon diox
Romashka [77]

1. Cellular respiration does not consume carbon dioxide (CO2).

Cellular respiration is a process by which plants produce energy. It consists of anaerobic (without O2) and aerobic phase(with the presence of O2). During the cellular respiration chemical energy derived from the nutrients (like glucose) is transformed into energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

2. Unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in all eukaryotic organisms (photosynthesis only in plants and some microorganisms). The processes of cellular respiration occur in cytosol (glycolysis) and in the mitochondrion of a cell (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain).

A gene on a chromosome lies close to another gene controlling a different trait. This indicates that the genes are _. The first
umka2103 [35]

My guess:

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say that the answer to the first one is "strongly linked". Think of a chromosome as a phylogenic chart → 2 species that are beside each other are strongly linked, if compared to 2 species 3 spots apart form each other. So, 2 genes that are close to each other are strongly linked.

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say the answer to the second one is epistasis → which is the interaction between two different genes (different means they're not linked alleles).

Hope it helped,

Humans are diploid organisms, and their gametes contain 23 chromosomes. Fill in the blank in each sentence using the terms. Each
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

2n, n, diploid

Explanation:

<em>When the somatic cells of human are in interphase, the ploidy level is denoted as </em><em>2n (diploid)</em><em>. The ploidy level of the human's gametes is denoted as </em><em>n (haploid)</em><em>. The 2n number of a human is </em><em>diploid</em><em>.</em>

Somatic cells are also known as vegetative cells and all somatic cells of humans have diploid number of chromosomes. At interphase, the number of chromosome remains diploid (2n) but the amount to DNA is doubled at the synthesis phase of the interphase.

Human gametes are formed through meiosis - the division of sex cells in the human body. Meiosis results in the halving of number of chromosomes of cells. Hence, all human gametes contain half the number (n = 23) of chromosome of vegetative cells.

Humans are diploid organisms with diploid (2n = 46) number of chromosomes in their vegetative cells.

How do enzymes affect reaction rate in cells
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Enzymes greatly affect reaction rate in the cells because it speed up the chemical process.

Explanation:

Enzymes are the substances which act as a catalyst during a chemical reaction. Enzyme speed up the chemical process by attaching with the molecules in the reaction and when the process completed it is detached from the molecules. No decrease occurs in the size of enzyme after the reaction is completed.
