How do enzymes work biology gcse aqa

Biology
2 answers:
nekit [7.7K]4 years ago

Answer:

enzymes are biological catalysis in the body which means they speed up chemical reactions without being used up in  the process.

the main concept is the lock and key theory ,every enzyme has an active site which has a unique shape for a specific substrate.Enzymes can only catalyse one specific reaction

for an enzyme to work the substrate has to fit into the active site and if it doesn't fit the active site the reaction will not take place.,the active site may change shape a little as the substrate binds to it to get a tighter fit, this is called an induced fit.

Answer:

<em>Basically enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up chemical reactions. Enzymes are required mostly of the chemical reactions that happen in organisms . These reactions happen in the breakdown of chemical molecules. That is what we see in our digestive system .</em>

Compute A population of 100 flowering plants contains 60 plants that are homozygous for orange flowers (OO), 30 plants that are
netineya [11]
O allele 60 + 60+30 = 150
o allele 
30 + 10+10 = 50
O allele frequency = 150/200 = 0.75
Thus, the O allele frequency is 3/4 or 0.75
o allele frequency = 50/200 = 0.25
The o allele frequency is 1/4 or 0.25

In the thylakoid membranes, what is the main role of the antenna pigment molecules?
Katen [24]

Answer: Option B.

harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll

Explanation:

In the thylakoid membranes,the main role of the antenna pigment molecules is harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll because the photon of light move until it get to a molecule in the chlorophyll. When it reaches the molecule, it causes an excitation of electrons in the chlorophyll. The energy then present allow it to break free from the chlorophyll atom, which indicate chlorophyll donating an electron and the energy that is absorbed is then converted to heat.
