What is the greenhouse effect

The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring process that aids in heating the Earth's surface and atmosphere. It results from the fact that certain atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane, are able to change the energy balance of the planet by absorbing longwave radiation emitted from the Earth's surface. Without the greenhouse effect life on this planet would probably not exist as the average temperature of the Earth would be a chilly -18° Celsius, rather than the present 15° Celsius.

Answer:

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that occurs due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, ozone, methane in the earth's surface.

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is a phenomenon that occurs when the greenhouse gases(carbon dioxide, methane) in the Earth's surface trap heat from the sun and this process makes the Earth's surface warmer.

The greenhouse effect is caused due to burning of fossil fuels and cutting of trees or forests, which increase the concentration of methane, carbon dioxide(greenhouse gases).

Two proteins bind to the same ligand, and protein A has half of its binding sites occupied when the ligand concentration is 0.5

liq [111]

Answer: C. Protein B binds more strongly and Kd =0,3mM Explanation: • Kd refers to the concentration at which half the kigand binding sites are occupied. • The smaller tge Kd the higher the binding affinity Here, B has a Kd of 0,3mM and A has a Kd of 0,5mM. Thus B has the higher binding affinity due fo smaller Kd

The involvement of ATP in the nitrogenase complex is because ATP is needed to: a. provide electrons. b. phosphorylate the enzyme

german

Answer:

c. break the N2 triple bond.

Explanation:

In the general nitrogen reduction reaction (which occurs in the nitrogenase complex), ferredoxin acts as an electron donor to Fe-protein, which in turn hydrolyzes ATP and reduces MoFe-protein. By reducing MoFe-protein one can then reduce numerous (triple bonded) substrates although, under natural conditions, it reacts only to N2 and H +.

That is, ATP must be present in the reaction so that MoFe-protein can break the triple bond N2.

The binding and hydrolysis of ATP to Fe-protein causes a change in conformation of this protein which facilitates redox reactions. The enzymatic reduction of N2 by nitrogenase requires a large energy investment, although the exact changes in free energy are still unknown.
