Hello there,

The reason <u>Enzymes</u> are considered a <u>catalyst</u> is because Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions.

<u>Enzymes </u>which are proteins that control the speed of <u>Chemical reactions</u> in your body. With out them, The chemical reactions would take place Very slowly to keep you alive.

Hope this helps

Enzymes are proteins functioning as catalysts that speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy. The definition of enzyme is that it is a biological catalyst. a catalyst is a chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed with the reaction.

Answer:

B. MacConkey is both a differential and a selective medium.

Explanation:

Selective media contain the ingredients that allows for the growing of specific microbes while inhibiting the others.

For example MacConkey media facilitate the growth of gram negative bacteria and inhibit the growth of gram positive bacteria. That why E. coli and P. mirabilis grew on the media because these are gram negative and S. saprophyticus does not grew being gram positive.

Differential media allow to differentiate between selected microbes by visual observation.

For Example MacConkey media differentiate between organisms that can ferment lactose to the organisms that can't ferment it. That why E. coli appeared pink on the media because it can ferment lactose while P. mirabilis appears colorless because it usually cannot ferment lactose.

What is the most likely mechanism by which testosterone functions inside a cell?
Fed [463]
<span>Testosterone achieves his effect by binding to his androgen receptor (nuclear). Because testosterone is steroid hormone (derived from cholesterol), it has a possibility to free diffuse through the cell membrane. When testosterone binds, the receptor undergoes a structural change which allows it to move into the cell nucleus and dimerize. Receptor dimer than binds directly to the specific sequence of the DNA called hormone response element (HRE) which results in regulation of gene expression.</span>

A diet high in animal products and hydrogenated vegetable margarine may increase the risk for heart disease. this is because
muminat
Animal fats and hydrogenated vegetable margarine contain saturated triglycerides. Saturated triglycerides are those that are made of saturated fatty acids. These saturated fatty acids are capable of forming atheroma (/plaques) along arterial walls, causing atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis. These could both result in coronary thrombosis (blocking of a coronary artery by a clot of blood), and hence a myocardial infarction (heart attack).
