Reactants bind to the enzyme at the ______.

1 answer:

4 0

An active site is a region that is present on an enzyme where the reactants or the substrate molecules we can say bind and experience a chemical reaction. The substrate is basically a reactant whose concentration is changing and that is converting into a product after binding at the active site of an enzyme

20. Why are scientific theories changed but never thrown away?

Elis [28]

Scientific Theory change but not thrown away because scientist continue looking for possibilities and exact proportion to prove such theory, though it is change because they always conducted hypnosis in every theory and once it proves something different they conduct another hypothesis for more actual evidence.

If a molecule of DNA has 30% Adenine how much of the other bases will be present?

anygoal [31]

Answer:

If a DNA molecule has 30% Adenine the percentage of the other bases is Thymine: 30% Cytosine: 20% Guanine: 20%.

Explanation:

When the percentage that a base has in a DNA molecule is given, the percentage of the other bases can be known using the Chargaff's base pair rule.

A DNA molecule has the information of the genome of a living being, according to a specific sequence of its nitrogenous bases adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

Chargaff was able to establish that in a DNA molecule the ratio of purine : pyrimidine of 1:1, so there must be the same amount of thymine as adenine and a similar amount of guanine for the cytosine, taking into account the complementarity of bases.

Taking into account the law of the base pair, if in a DNA chain there is 30% of Adenine, in the molecule there is:

Adenine 30%. 
Thymine 30%. 
Cytosine 20%. 
Guanine 20%. 
Total ..... 100%

In this case, the Chargaff rule is useful to determine the percentage of nitrogenous bases that exist in a DNA molecule, knowing the percentage of a single base.

1 Populations that show uniform dispersion typically show the following characteristics EXCEPT:

professor190 [17]

1. Answer: C

Explanation: Species that are inclined to clumping means they are more likely to cooperate in tasking such as gathering food. However, evenly distributed population means there is competition between individuals hence the need to their own space and territory from the other individual.

2. Answer: B

Explanation: While the clumped up populations may be inclined to cooperate in tasks such as food gathering, such distribution results to increases intraspecies competition especially during scarcity. This is because the individuals are close together – which is also advantageous during mating season.

3. Answer: A

Explanation: Type 3 survivorship curve is characterized by a high mortality rate early in the life of the species which gradually progresses to a low mortality rate for the individuals that survive the early stages of life. These species, therefore, bear a lot of offspring most of which will not make to adulthood.

4. Answer: B

Explanation: If the death rate of a population is higher than the birth+ immigration rate, then the population must be decreasing. This can be demonstrated by a growth curve of a population such as that of bacteria. The population starts decreasing due to increased competition for reduced resources after reaching carrying capacity - depicted by the stationary phase.
