Answer:

it does not disturb the overall function of the active site

Explanation:

The gene mutation will not have an effect on the active site. This is because the mutation affects the non-essential amino acid or protein in the molecule. This causes the molecule to be in the same state and shape it was. In addition, the Quaternary protein structure has many proteins on the active site. Hence the mutation will not be significant and detrimental to the overall structure and function of the molecule.

Which list gives the proper sequence of energy changes that occur in a hydroelectric plant?

ASHA 777 [7]

Explanation:

Flowing water has intrinsic kinetic energy that is harnessed to rotate the turbine. The turbine rotates hence gains mechanical energy because it is doing work. This work is used to rotate a dynamo of a generator which generates electricity. The mechanical energy is thus converted into electric energy by the dynamo. The electric energy is then carried by the power lines to the users.
