Answer:
The correct answer is C. benefit ... harmed
Explanation:
Predation is a type of interaction between two individuals in which one individual gets harmed which is called prey and another organism who is predator gets benefitted.
In predation, the predator kills its prey and consume it to survive. For example, Lion is a predator and deer is the prey so during predation lion kills the deer and consume it so here lions get benefited by consuming deer and deer is harmed as it lost its life. So the correct answer is C. benefit ... harmed.
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
The most specific level of classification is species and the least specific level of classification is kingdom.
Answer:
C. The enzyme with mutation 1 has decreased affinity for pyridoxal phosphate, whereas the enzyme with mutation 2 has lost the ability to bind to the substrates.
Explanation:
A coenzyme is an organic cofactor that binds with an enzyme in order to initiate or aid the function of the enzyme. A coenzyme binds to the active site of the enzyme (where the reaction occurs), thereby triggering its activation by modifying protein structure during the reaction. Some examples of coenzymes include Coenzyme A and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Pyridoxal phosphate is a coenzyme (it is the active form of vitamin B6) that is required for the function of cystathionase. Moreover, cystathionase is an enzyme that enables cells the synthesis of cysteine from methionine (transsulfuration pathway). The binding of pyridoxal phosphate to the enzyme increases the binding affinity of the enzyme for the substrate, thereby influencing its activity. In this case, it is expected that mutation 1 reduces the binding affinity of the enzyme to the cofactor, and thereby the cofactor is required at a higher concentration to restore normal enzyme activity.
