Answer and Explanation:

Enzymes are organic catalysts which are protein in nature. There are two types of naming enzymes:

<h3>Trivial naming</h3>

This method involves giving enzymes names based on the names of the persons who discovered them. The names of such enzymes end with the suffix-in, for example, pepsin, trypsin. Some of these names have been retained to date.

Enzyme Nomenclature by Enzyme Commission

This is the modern method of naming enzymes. The suffix-ase is added to the substrate or the reaction which the enzymes catalyses. Every enzyme code consists of the letters "EC" followed by the enzyme. For example

EC 1 oxidoreductases- oxidoreduction reactions

EC 2 transferases- transfer of a functional group

EC 3 hydrolases- catalyse hydrolytic cleaving

EC 4 lyases - adding groups to double bonds. e.g., C-C,C-O

EC 5 isomerases - catalyse structural changes in a molecule

EC 6 ligases - joining of two molecules

Why does the enzyme trypsin get deactivated when introduced in the gastric juice of the stomach?
svetoff [14.1K]
In my Biology Honors Class, they taught about gastric juice, or also known as    (p H) which is formed by stomach glands, is very acidic and can seriously mess up enzyme trypsin functions. After all, enzymes are a type of catalyst that help break down food, which means that enzymes are a sort of digestive acid as well. Hope this helps!

Arthropods invaded land about 100 million years before vertebrates. this fact most clearly implies that ________.
emmainna [20.7K]

The answer is arthropods have had more time to co-evolve with land plants than have vertebrates. Analysis of genes shows that their sequences are quite similar, and these sequences differ from those of the lophotrochozoans and deuterostomes.  Between the annelids and arthropods will probably be viewed, in retrospect, as an instance of an evolutionary relationship that modern scientists had ʺset in stone, ʺ now having crumbled.

The enzyme will be transported to either the cytoplasm or the mitochondria to perform the functions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Cellular respiration is the process by which a living cell burns nutrients like glucose, fats, or even proteins to produce energy molecules namely ATP to perform its daily works. This cellular respiration, which is mainly aerobic, takes place both in cytoplasm and mitochondria.

The glycolysis part of the cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm. The enzymes that take part in the glycolysis cycle reaches to cytoplasm from ribosome to perform.

But both the Kreb's Cycle and the Electron Transport chain take place in mitochondria. Kreb's Cycle takes place in mitochondria matrix and ETC takes place in inner mitochondrial membrane. Although ETC isn't a enzymatic process, Kreb's Cycle is fully enzymatic and the enzymes reaches from ribosomes inside mitochondria by transporters.
