Function of an enzyme is to lower reaction's activation energy and to increase speed of a reaction, but to make it happen, enzyme and substrate must fit spatially. The shape of an enzyme is essential to make enzyme-substrate complex - if active site of an enzyme doesn't fit to substrate, there won't be a enzyme-catalised reaction.
Answer: Solution in Water
Explanation:
I believe this refers to the reaction between Zinc and Hydrochloric acid.
When this happens, the solution will be Zinc Chloride but as it happened in a solution (the acid), the resulting Zinc Chloride salt would be in aqueous form which means that it would be a solution in water which is the other product of this reaction.
Had the zinc reacted with gaseous HCI, it would have resulted in a Zinc Chloride with no liquid in it.
Answer:
Resident microflora b. may be responsible for opportunistic infections in immunocompromised
Explanation:
It is almost impossible to found these microorganisms in the stomach because of the acidic conditions, most of them are not adapted to this type of environment. Resident microflora is not transient, is actually permanent. However, resident microflora may be responsible for ooportunistic infections in immunocompromised and they can also increase the intensity of the disease produced by that pathogen.
Correct answer: A). The enzyme influences the speed of change from substrate to product
The enzymes are the biological catalyst that speed up the rate of chemical reactions by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction pathway.
They increase the speed of change of substrate to the product and it remains unchanged in the reaction. Hence, it can be used again and again.
Enzymes are highly specific in nature, only a specific substrate binds to the enzyme's active site. Hence, a particular enzyme is required to catalyze a reaction.
