Enzymes are protein molecules which serve as catalysts for chemical reactions. A catalyst is a substance which will decrease the activation energy for a reaction. ... Enzymes will make reactions occur much more easily, quickly and more efficiently than they ever would without the enzyme.

<h2>Answer</h2>

By lowering energy of activation of the reaction.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

High energy produced during the metabolism of reactant to product. Due to the large free energy of activation, the speeds of uncatalyzed biochemical reactions are often exceedingly slow. Enzymes lower this energy of activation so that more molecules have adequate energy to carry into the transition state to speed up the rate of reaction.

Please help!!! <br> What are things that tend to gain electrons and become negative

mafiozo [28]

Explanation:

This electron exchange results in an electrostatic attraction between the two atoms called an ionic bond. An atom that loses one or more valence electrons to become a positively charged ion is known as a cation, while an atom that gains electrons and becomes negatively charged is known as an anion.

Un ascensor recibe 1200 calorías y realiza 2200 joules de trabajo ¿Cómo se puede medir la energía interna del sistema?

bogdanovich [222]

Solución: El problema indica que se le están suministrando 700 calorías de calor, eso quiere decir que Delta Q será positivo, por otra parte nos dice que al sistema se le aplicará un trabajo de 900 Joules, aquí el signo de Delta W tendrá que ser negativo, puesto que se la están aplicando al sistema.

Sabiendo ese análisis podemos dar solución al problema de la siguiente forma:

Recombinant DNA uses what medium to produce new genes?

mestny [16]

The genetic characteristic of two different organisms are induced into a new host organism for the purpose of producing new genes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the field of bio technology, Recombinant DNA technology plays a very important role. This helps in the production of genes. The first thing insulin of human was produced with this technology. In this technology, the gene that is to be produced is cut and it is placed inside a host organism where it gets multiplied.

This technology uses five steps in gene production. Firstly, the DNA that is essential will be cut. this is done by restriction site. PCR is used secondly in order to amplify the copies of the genes. Then these are induced into Vectors after which they will again be introduced into a host organism. Then finally the results will be the genes of the desired characteristics.

A scientist puts mRNA nucleotide chains that contain only Uracil (U) in a test tube. That test tube allows protein synthesis to

RideAnS [48]

An amino acid can be formed by combining 3 nucleobases. In the test, the only nucleobase the mRNA is uracil. That means the possible combination of the nucleobase should be only UUU. Since there is only 1 possible combination, there should be 1 possible amino acid that can be formed.
