Why will the enzyme sucrase only act on sucrose and not bind to other disaccharides, such as maltose?​

Biology
1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Because of its specificity.

Sucrase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose.

Explanation:

Enzymes are substances that catalyze biological reactions. Enzymes are specific that is they have the ability to bind with a selected substrate to catalyze a particular reaction. They have active sites which are specifically made for the binding of a particular substrate to elicit catalysis. Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of a glucose and fructose joined together while maltose is a disaccharide made up of two glucose molecules. Therefore, maltose will not be able to bind to the active site of sucrase due to its structure.

Describe how climate would be influenced if:
madam [21]
  1. The rate of energy coming from the Sun changes slightly day to day. .It has been suggested that changes in solar output might affect our climate—both directly, by changing the rate of solar heating of the Earth and atmosphere, and indirectly, by changing cloud forming processes.
  2. The axial tilt angle affects climate largely by determining which parts of the earth get more sunlight during different stages of the year Likewise, during winter for the northern hemisphere, there would be fewer hours of daylight because the northern hemisphere would essentially be pointed away from the sun.
  3. If an asteroid were to strike land or a shallow body of water, it would eject an enormous amount of dust, ash, and other material into the atmosphere, blocking the radiation from the Sun. This would cause the global temperature to decrease drastically.
  4. The Sun's irradiance has its greatest effect on Earth's upper atmosphere, while the lower atmosphere insulates Earth from the increased heat. If the Sun were driving Earth's warming, one would expect to see that upper atmosphere getting increasingly hot.\
