A researcher proposes a model of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in which a reactant is converted to a product. The model is based

on the idea that the reactant passes through a transition state within the enzyme-substrate complex before the reactant is converted to the product.Which of the following statements best helps explain how the enzyme speeds up the reaction?
A. The enzyme’s active site binds to and stabilizes the reactant, which decreases the free-energy change of the reaction.
B. The enzyme’s active site binds to and stabilizes the transition state, which decreases the activation energy of the reaction.
C. The enzyme’s active site binds to and stabilizes the product, which increases the amount of energy released by the reaction.
D. The enzyme’s active site binds to and stabilizes both the reactant and the product at the same time, which increases the reaction’s equilibrium constant.

Answer: The answer is B: The enzyme's active site binds to and stabilizes the transition state, which decreases the activation energy of the reaction.

Explanation: An enzyme is a biological molecule which speeds up the rate of chemical reactions in the body (reactions within cells). They are proteins.

    The transition state is the transition from substrate to product. The molecule is no longer a substrate but also not yet a product.

The enzyme is able to speed up the reaction by stabilizing the transition state. The transition state's energy is also the activation energy in terms of reaction. The activation energy is the minimum energy that is required to break some bonds of the reactants in order to turn them to products.

A competitive inhibitor binds at a site other than the active site. irreversibly binds and inactivates the enzyme. cannot be pro
anyanavicka [17]

Answer: irreversibly binds and inactivates the enzyme.

Explanation: An enzyme can be defined as any substance that binds substrates in a manner that facilitates the formation of product.

These are nonspecific factors that would inactivate any enzyme. The activity of enzymes can also be regulated by more specific inhibitors. A competitive inhibitor can be defined as an inhibitors bind reversibly at the active site of an enzyme.

It is important to note the difference:

An irreversible inhibitor inactivates an enzyme by bonding covalently to a particular group at the active site. The inhibitor-enzyme bond is so strong that the inhibition cannot be reversed by the addition of excess substrate.

A reversible inhibitor inactivates an enzyme through noncovalent, more easily reversed, interactions. Unlike an irreversible inhibitor, a reversible inhibitor can dissociate from the enzyme. Reversible inhibitors include competitive inhibitors and noncompetitive inhibitors.

What is one characteristic that you could observe under the microscope to distinguish diatoms and dinoflagellates?
lapo4ka [179]

The "frustule" cell wall of diatoms. A dinoflagellate isn't constructed this way. The frustule is composed of two parts which are pretty much identical except for size -- one of the parts is slightly smaller than the other.
