Answer:

The change in PH not only effect the shape of enzymes, but it may also change properties the of substrate so that that substrate cannot control to bind the active site and it cannot undergo catalysis.

In general enzymes have a PH optimum. However this optimum is not same for each enzyme.

Explanation:

For Example; The enzyme pepsin is most active at an acidic PH, Whereas the enzyme trypsin performs best at slightly alkaline PH. the increase or decrease in PH can change the concentration of ion in a solution

Why are plants and the bottom of the energy pyramid?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

What is an energy pyramid?

An energy pyramid is a graphical model that shows energy flow in a community. In this case thought, it shows how energy flows in a biome.  

Why do the percents decrease as you get to the top of the pyramid?  

The plants at the bottom of the pyramid have the most energy because they are the producers of the biome. They take the sun rays and use photosynthesis to make food and turn that into energy for animals. Herbivores have to move around to find their food. Finding food takes energy so that's why they have less amount of energy. Another reason is because they have to chew and swallow their food. Their digestive system has to use energy to break down the food molecules and get the essential nutrients out of the plant for the herbivore. The carnivore has the least amount of energy because they have to track their prey. Moving around requires a lot of energy. Also by the time the carnivore attacks the herbivore, they're already digesting the energy and nutrients from the plants so there's less of those left.

Explain how cells specialize to form specific tissue and organs?
S_A_V [24]
<span>All cells have the same DNA. They are different because different genes have been locked up and only some of them are expressed. The process began in the embryonic stage, when stem cells are turned into different types of cells by turning off some of the genes. Scientists have been looking for ways to reverse the process, meaning turning specialized cells back into stem cells. Some success has been reported using different methods. The latest one uses a weak acid to stress the cells.</span>

Fast!!! what name is given to nitrogen bases that have a 2 ring structure
barxatty [35]
The nitrogenous bases form hydrogen bonds between opposing DNA strands to form the rungs of the "twisted ladder" or double helix of DNA or a biological catalyst that is found in the nucleotides. Adenine is always paired with thymine, and guanine is always paired with cytosine. These are known as base pairs.
