Biology

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.

As liquid water freezes, the molecules arrange themselves in a way that takes up more space than liquid water. What would most l
pickupchik [31]
The appropriate answer is A. the density of ice would be greater than the density of liquid water and so ice would not float. Density can be defined as mass per unit volume. Any substance whose mass is great and occupies a relatively small volume is going to be dense.

Water expands by nine to ten percent when it freezes and this expansion increases the space occupied or the volume and so the density of ice is less than water.

dimaraw [331]

When there is myelosuppression, the suggestive finding is there is a decrease in the platelets and red blood cells. Also called the bone marrow suppression, myelosuppression is a common side effect of the treatment of chemotherapy. When this side effect happens, there is a decrease in the production of blood cells. The result which may be the effect of myelosuppression is a decrease in one, two or all three types of blood cells. Most patients of chemotherapy experience a decrease in red blood cells. Another effect is the decrease of white blood cells by most patients. Myelosuppression will be subcategorized as neutropenia when chemotherapy results to the reduction of neutrophils which is a specific type of white blood cells. Thrombocytopenia is the term for a drop in platelet numbers. This kind of suppression is not that common.  Only 10 percent of cancer patients undergo the negative effects of this kind of suppression.
