When an enzyme reacts with only limited, selected substrates, this characteristic is referred to as the enzyme's __________?

1 answer:

3 0

When an enzyme reacts with only selected and limited number of substrates, then this characteristic of the enzyme is referred to as its specificity. The enzymes which are specific, catalyzes only selected few reactions. These enzymes are specific to certain bonds or functional groups. Some enzymes have absolute specificity, which means that they catalyze only one reaction.

Hence, the blank can be filled with 'specificity'.

Gnoma [55]

The correct answer is: The trench is formed by a subduction zone which has also created volcanic islands.

As all the other trenches on the plate boundaries of the Pacific plate, the Aleutian Trench, on the boundary between the Pacific and the North American plate, has also come to be because of the subduction zone appearing between the two plates.

The lower and heavier Pacific plate is subducting bellow the North American plate, and that results into large deep spaces opening up between the two plates, thus the emergence of the trenches. Also, because the magma from bellow the crust has easy access to the surface, it comes upwards and creates multiple islands with the volcanic activity that it produces.

Savanna ecosystems are tropical grasslands with warm temperatures year-round and are characterized by grasses, small and tall tr

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Savanna, is a biome, dominated by grasses. It exhibit dry climatic conditions. This biome receives very little rain fall. The tree population is scanty in this biome. The Savanna biome is found in Australia, Africa, South America and India. The giraffe is an animal that feeds upon leaves, fruits and pods of tall Savanna trees. The giraffe is tall enough to reach the highest branches of the trees.

As, in the given situation, more giraffe feed upon the leaves of the trees closest to the ground until all the leaves or vegetation of the ground and closest to the ground cleans up. Members of the population which have taller neck will be able to thrive leaves growing at the top of the tree canopy. This feature is called as natural selection. This involves the survival of the individuals, which have traits suitable for changing environment. The giraffe which have comparatively long neck will have better advantage for survival than the others in situations of scarcity of food.
