Why does optimum pH promote enzyme activity

Biology
1 answer:

Enzymes work best within specific temperature and pH ranges, and sub-optimal conditions can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to bind to a substrate.  pH: Each enzyme has an optimum pH range.

Aneli [31]

Answer: a. Genetic recombination (crossing over)

b. Can also be explained in terms of crossing over

c. Non disjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1

Explanation:

The process that allows for the transfer of both the paternal and maternal materials to is the crossing over process that takes at meiosis 1 changing them to secondary spermatocytes. While they are still primary spermatocytes, they are still diploid cells having both the maternal and paternal chromosomes. But since the spermatozoon is an haploid cell, it is able to retail some of both parents chromosome by the crossing over event which takes place between homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes allowing them to exchange materials. Thus the chromosomal contents of the primary spermatocyte differs from that of the spermatozoon.

C. This can occur as a result of the one of the homologous chromosome pair refusing to separate at meiosis 1 with one gamete containing 4 chromosomes/8 sister chromatids and the second having 2 chromosomes/4 sister chromatids.

HELP ASAP use the particle theory to explain why hot chocolate powder dissolves more rapidly in hot water than cold water
Yuliya22 [10]

Explanation:

To dissolve, solvent particles must come in contact with solvent particles. Particles of hot water are moving much more rapidly than particles of cold water. Hence, in hot water more water particles will come in contact with hot chocolate powder than in cold water, resulting in faster dissolving.
