An enzyme is sensitive to the environmental conditions. It is affected by various chemical and physical factors. Changes in the environmental factors denatures the enzyme.
4 Variable affecting an enzyme function are as follows:
1. pH: An enzyme is affected by change in pH. Every enzyme has its own specific pH at which it works ideally.
2. Temperature: An enzyme works best at ideal temperature. Increase or decrease in the temperature causes denaturation of enzyme.
3. ATP: Increase or decrease in the amount of ATP also affects the function of an enzyme.
4. Product: Increase or decrease in the amount of product also affects the ideal functioning of an enzyme.
No because sugar is transported into the cell by active transport.
Small
components used to make or repair jewelry are called jewelry findings. Jewelry findings are basically
components, materials and elements such as clasps, pins, hooks, tabs etc that
can be used in making, assembling or repair a piece of jewelry.
b. 10% of energy is transferred from the first to the second trophic level.
Explanation:
In trophic level flow of energy is one way, only a small amount of energy get transferred with the organism. A large amount of energy gets dissipated in life processes like respiration, reproduction and digestion. The energy is also released as waste product. Thus, only ten per-cent of the total energy is present in the organism.
The energy transfer does not depend on the number of trophic levels.
Each trophic level receives the 10% energy from the previous trophic level as when algae is eaten by flagship.
