Answer:

In superficially both the theories are similarly as the idea is that substrate plays a crucial role in determining the shape and that the structure of the enzyme is flexible in both theories. In both the theories, it suggested that a proper substrate can only induce or fit in the active site to form complex so it can start the function of the enzyme.

Both theories are very much similar however they have different approaches to its mechanical use in the reaction. In lock and key theory, it is said that the there is no need to change only a specific substrate fit where is in induces fit theory enzyme is flexible to fit the substrate to induce the activity.

In induced fit theory the active site is made of 2 components however in the lock and key theory the active site has 1 single entry.

In the Krebs Cycle of cellular respiration, pyruvate is used to make

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

b. carbon dioxide

Explanation:

This metabolic pathway is called the Krebs cycle after the scientist who first discovered it in 1937. The Krebs cycle is further broken down by pyruvic acid, obtained in the glycolysis process. The process proceeds in two stages. The first is the degree of decomposition of the bicarbonate residue.

The Krebs cycle is the main metabolic pathway for the breakdown of organic matter and the production of energy in the form of reduced coenzymes, which will then be incorporated into ATP.

Besides cell walls, features often found in plant cells but not in animal cells are:

Oduvanchick [21]

Besides cell walls, features often found in plant cells but not in animal cells are: · Chloroplast- specialized organelles in which light energy is converted to chemical energy during the photosynthesis(chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b-green color of the plant)
 · Vacuole-central organelle filled with fluid for storing food (sometimes it is found in animals but rare)· in animals but rare)
· Starch-energy storage of plants (it is glycogen in animals)

In some species, young individuals float freely as plankton while mature members are fixed on the seafloor. this is an effective

FrozenT [24]

This is an effective strategy because different phases do not compete for food.
For example for the case of Jelly fish, After a brief period floating about in surface waters like planktons, the larvae then settles to the sea floor, attaching themselves to one end. They then develop to polyps and begin to feed and grow. In spring the polyps bud iff immature jellyfish known as ephyra larvae which then grow to mature jellyfish.
