Describe what happens to an enzyme after it has catalysed a reaction

1 answer:

5 0

Well during an enzyme catalyzed reaction the enzyme bonds with a specific substrate at the active site. This is called an enzyme-substrate complex. The substrate is converted into a specific product, but the enzyme remains unchanged. Enzymes accelerate reactions by factors of at least a million.Enzymes are not used up in a chemical reaction. Usually, the enzyme will "reset" and be ready to use in another reaction. This is due to the fact that enzymes are proteins, and their shape is what they use in a chemical reaction. Initially, the enzyme has a particular shape. Something happens to the enzyme (usually a shape change, called a conformation change, brought on by the presence of two or more chemical reactants), and the enzyme catalyzes the reaction. After the reaction is catalyzed, the product is released, and the enzyme can "relax." This means it goes back to its normal shape, ready to do it all over

Hope it helps

Certain types of windows used in colder climates consist of two panes of glass separated by a gap of air. What is the advantage

Fed [463]

The air gap is filled with gas which increases the insulation between the glass pieces. Double glazed windows are highly efficient, reducing your heat loss or gain by up to 30% when compared to single-glazed windows.

The level of protein structure that describes all aspects of the three-dimensional folding of a polypeptide is referred to as

vfiekz [6]

<span>Tertiary</span> structure - three-dimentional structure of one polypetide chain.

Proteins are considered as for their conformation in four different stages:

Primary structure is referred solely to the sequence of amino acids<span> in the polypeptide chain.
</span>Secondary structure is the immediate basic folding of a protein and it can be α-helix and β-sheets.
Tertiary structure is the three-dimentional folding of a singles polypetide.
Quaternary structure is the thee-dimenional structure that results from the combination of two or more individual polypetides working as single protein.

A species of salamander has two tail length phenotypes. Short tails are completely dominant over long tails. A scientists crosse

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

D. If all of the offspring are short-tailed, the unknown individual is the homozygous dominant genotype.

Explanation:

The short tail phenotype is completely dominant over the long tail phenotype. When a short tailed salamander with unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive long tailed salamander, the cross is called testcross. Lets assume that the allele "S" gives "short tail" phenotype while the allele "s" gives "long tail" phenotype.

If the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is homozygous dominant (SS), the process of the testcross will express only dominant trait (cross 1). On the other hand, if the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is heterozygous dominant (Ss), segregation of alleles during gamete formation would form two types of gametes (cross 2). The 50% progeny would express the "long tail" phenotype while rest 50% will express the "short tail" phenotype.
