Answer:

Genus is Staphylococcus and specie is aureus i.e Staphylococcus aureus

Explanation:

Oropharynx:

Oropharynx also known as throat. It includes the tongue from its base region, the tonsils, the pharynx walls and the soft palate.

Oropharyngeal microbiota:

Microbiota are communities of microorganisms which may be symbiotic, commensal  and pathogenic  The oropharyngeal microbiota contains many microorganisms as it is known to be the major reservoir of infection.

Coagulase test:

This test is the laboratory procedure used for detection of Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus produces coagulase enzyme which catalyses the conversion of soluble fibrinogen in plasma to insoluble fibrin.

During an enzymatic reaction, a molecule of binds to the enzyme and is broken down into one or more molecules of____, which are
Ugo [173]

During an enzymatic reaction, a molecule of substrate binds to the enzyme and is broken down into one or more molecules of product , which are released.

<h3>What is substrate and product ?</h3>

While products can be produced at the end of the reaction, substrates are the reaction's initial raw material. The distinction between a substrate and a product is that a substrate is the substance used to initiate a chemical reaction, whereas a product is the compound formed when the reaction is finished.

<h3>What do you mean by enzymatic reaction ?</h3>

In an enzyme reaction, the free enzyme E binds to its substrate S to form the enzyme-substrate complex (C1), which is then catalyzed into the enzyme-product complex (C2), from which the free enzyme and product P are released: S + E ↔ C1 ↔ C2 → P + E. This is known as the "lock-and-key" model in enzymatic reactions. The great majority of cellular reactions are represented by this paradigm.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that during an enzymatic reaction, a molecule of substrate binds to the enzyme and is broken down into one or more molecules of product , which are released.

La Niña follows after an El Niño. Its sea surface temperature will be lower than the natural one by 3-5 degree Celcius which tells us that it is cooler than the average temperature. It is the positive state of the El Niño. It really disturbs the natural weather patterns which could result to extreme storms.
