What type of molecule speeds up chemical reactions in living things?
iren [92.7K]

The best answer is  B - Proteins.

Proteins make up enzymes, or to put it another way enzymes are made up of protein. It is enzymes that speed up the chemical reactions. Enzymes are organic catalysts, substances that speed up a (biochemical) reaction but do not take part in the reaction and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.

In man, there are many enzymes. The majority of these are found in the digestive system where they greatly aid the process of food breakdown from complex molecules to simple molecules. Examples include salivary amylase found in saliva,  which begins the gradual breaking down of starch into glucose right from the moment food is placed in the mouth and mixed with saliva. Pepsin in the stomach breaks down protein.

What generally causes thymine dimers to form in a strand of dna, and why are thymine dimers a problem?.
valentina_108 [34]

Ultraviolet light can cause thymine dimers, potentially creating a mutation that could lead to cancer.

<h3>What  Causes Thymine Dimers ?</h3>

In a single POLYNUCLEOTIDE CHAIN a pair of THYMINE residues  that have become chemically bonded by the action of ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT. The lesion can inhibit DNA replication unless repaired.

Pyrimidine Dimers or thymine dimers  are usually covalent links between adjacent pyrimidine bases on the same strand of DNA.

Thymine dimers distorts the DNA shape and prevents the accurate copying of DNA, which causes mutations.
