What are organic molecules that catalyze reactions in living system

Biology
1 answer:
aksik [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

enzymes

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic molecules made up of proteins that catalyze reactions by either speed up or controlling the chemical reaction.

Enzymes are specific in the reactions they catalyze. An enzyme will only catalyze one specific reaction or a group of closely related reactions. For enzymes to catalyze a reaction, the substrate must fit in the active site on the surface of the enzyme. This forms an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme speeds up the formation of the products.

andrew-mc [135]

if there is a source of water and single celled organisms, life will be possible on that planet. The planet will need a atmosphere so 1. it will have its own gravity 2. and so that gas molecules ( including oxygen) will not be able to escape into space. the world population will be roughly 10.7 billion people so the planet will need to be spacious. A planet as described would be perfect if you take the right measures. if it has single celled organisms than its proven that it can and will sustain life. So, the planet has a water source, contains living organisms, is spacious, and has a atmosphere.

Why are cellular respiration and photosynthesis considered opposite reactions
Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

They are opposites because they are the same chemical reaction but reversed. Cellular respiration takes glucose (from nutrient/food) and oxygen (from atmosphere) in order to make CO2 (think about exhaling) and H20 (water).

If our visual perception depends only on the feature detectors in the visual cortex, what would we see?
Anika [276]

The sophistication of the visual cortex can be simplified through understanding that the neurons found in this region are distinguished by the kind of stimulus that each detects.

There are three major groups of feature detectors in visual cortex. These includes simple cells, complex cells and hypercomplex cells. The simple cells are the most specific since it responds to the geometric characteristics of the stimulus such as the lines of particular width, orientation, angle and position within the visual field. The complex cells are similar to simple cells. What differentiates one from the other is that they respond to the proper stimulus in any position within the receptive visual field. In addition, some of the complex cells respond to particular lines or edges moving in a specific direction opposite the receptive field. Lastly, the hypercomplex cells are responsive to the specific length of the lines. It is believed that the information from all feature detectors conjoin in to result in the visual stimulation perception.

Which traits are characteristic of single-celled organisms?
omeli [17]
B and C)
They often obtain most of their nutrients through the cell membrane as diffusion is able to take place passively and so at no energy loss to the organism, this can be essential for a single celled organism as they are able to produce a lot less energy due to having fewer mitochondria in comparison to multicellular organisms. 
They also require few resources as single celled organisms are very small and so require only a small amount of raw resources for respiration because they have a small energy demand to meet.
