If a major change in pH occurred, the protease enzymes would stop functioning or function very slowly, assuming the original pH was the most optimal pH for them.

Answer:

The most likely effect of a major change in pH is a change in the configuration of the active sites of the enzyme.

Explanation:

Enzymes are mainly the molecules of protein, which mediate different chemical reactions that is, by enhancing the reaction rate inside the living organism's body. Protease refers to a protein-digesting enzyme, which functions on particular pH, for example pepsin functions on pH 2 inside the stomach, that is, highly acidic.  

An enzyme's shape determines its activity as they exhibit active sites that possess specific configurations, which fit in the substrate and lead to chemical reactions. A prime modification in pH can change the configuration of the active locations of the enzyme, making it sedentary.

eduard

Answer:

Anthocyanin is not produced in the plant cells

Explanation:

Anthocyanin is not produced in plant cells with the genotype mm.

As you can see from the question above, anthocyanin is responsible for the purple color of the flowers. Anthocyanin is encoded by the M gene, which is a dominant gene. Because it is a dominant gene, we know that it will be expressed in plants with the Mm and MM genotype, but will not be encoded by plants with the mm genotype. With this we can conclude that plants that have the mm genotype do not have purple color, because anthocyanin is not produced in the plant cells of these plants, since they do not have the M gene.

The moon's mass is much lower than the earth's; therefore, its gravity isn't strong enough to hold an atmosphere. This lack of an atmosphere and the moon's small size allowed it to become cool enough to the point at which it completely solidified. Thus, the moon doesn't have any plate tectonic activity.
