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.

Which experimental design decision would most likely produce invalid and unreliable results?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The independent variable determines the value that needs to be calculated or the decision that needs to be made from the observations of the experiment. Hence, experimental design decision would most likely produce invalid and unreliable results when having more than one independent variable.

Why are ammonite fossils found in the Himalayas?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer;

This is because most likely some time a ago there use to be Ammonites living there and as they died there, they got fossilized.

Explanation;

-Fossils of a marine animal called Ammonite are found in large numbers in the Kali Gandaki river in Nepal. Ammonites were sea animals having shells - either straight or coiled. When the Tethys sea disappeared, they were caught in the shale layers of clay and transformed into fossils. This is one of the proofs that the Himalayas were indeed once under water.
