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

Biology
1 answer:
tamaranim1 [39]2 years ago

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.

What are the 3 different shapes, or structures, or carbon base molecules?
ddd [48]

Answer:

Carbon based molecules have 3 main structures which are

straight chain

branched chains

rings

Explanation:

The structure or shape of carbon can be a straight chain, branched chained or in the form of rings. Examples of straight chain carbon includes propane, butane and pentane. Examples of branched chain carbons include members of the alkyl group like methyl and ethyl. Ring shaped carbons form structures in the form of rings like benzene which forms a six carbon ring. All these structures are made and dependent on the ability of carbon molecules to form four covalent bonds. Enormous, complex molecules can be formed by the binding of carbon chains to carbon rings. The carbon based molecules are very important as they are the basic buiilding blocks of life. Many important molecule like the DNA, RNA, lipids are made up of carbon atoms.
