Explanation: Enzymes are made of amino acids that are linked by bonds, amongst those bonds are hydrogen bonds that are very weak. High temperatures and low pH(acidity) breaks those bonds changing the molecular conformation of the enzymes. That way they denature and loss the ability to perform their functions. High temperatures and acidity alter the structure of their active site preventing the substrate from binding to them. While high temperatures denatures enzymes, low temperature renders them inactive.

While a home was undergoing a renovation, workers discovered that there was asbestos in the walls. Before any further work could

Butoxors [25]

B.
Asbestos was used in housing for many years because it was cheap to manufacture and was amazingly heat-resistant, but was found to be incredibly dangerous, causing innumerous accounts of lung cancer and related problems.

This is from memory, but I will double check after I answer.

How many atp equivalents are consumed in the conversion of each of the following to a glucosyl residue in glycogen?

Nina [5.8K]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate - 1

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate - 1

Pyruvate - 13

G-6-P - 1

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

1) Dihydroxyacetone phosphate = 1

G1P + GTP --> UDPG + PPi two P is equivalent to 2 ATP --->2 ADP + Pi) Therefore, two ATP equivalents - but UDP is the product and only one P needed

2 DHAP --> F1,6-BP -->F6P --> G6P -->G1P -->UDPG --> glucosyl residue

2) Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate = 1

3) Pyruvate = 13

2 pyr + 2 ATP --> 2 OAA

2 OAA + 2 GTP --> 2 PEP

2 PEP --> 2 2PG --> 2 3PG

2 3PG + 2 ATP --> 2 1,3 BPG

2 1,3 BPG + 2 NADH --> 2 G3P

2 NADH = 6 ATP

2 G3P --> DHP + G3P --> FDP -- > F6P + P

F6P --> G6P --> G1P

G1P + UTP --> UDPG + PP

4) Glucose-6-phosphate = 1

G6P -->G1P G1P + UTP --> UDP-GLC + 2 Pi

UDP-Glc + glycogen --> glycogen+ 1 Glc

1. What are the end products of photosynthesis?

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1. Glucose And Oxygen.

2. Transpiration is the process by which water is lost in the form of water vapour by evaporation from the surface of leaves and other serial parts of plant .

3. A. Cooling Effect : The water keeps on evaporating from the leaf surface during transpiration . The heat required for evaporation of water is obtained from the plant itself and thus, the plant cools itself when it is hot outside.

B. Transpiration Pull : As water evaporates from the leaf surface, the roots pull up more water from the soil to make up for the water loss during transpiration .As a result, important mineral salts are also brought along with the water. These salts are necessary for the growth of the plant .

4. Leaf Tendrils : Sweet Pea

Spines : Cactus

Scale Leaves : Onion

5. Pitcher Plant, Venus FlyTrap, Blodderwort

6. Normally plants propogate with the help of seeds contained in the fruits . But some new plants may also be produced from other part of the plant such as the roots, stems, and leaves . This type of reproduction is called vegetative propogation .

E.g. = Bryophyllum .
