Answer: The maximum number of amino acids that could be coded is 2
Explanation:
- A codon in this microorganism is 2 bases instead of 3 bases .
- In order to encode a protein a sequence requires a start and stop codon
- If you assume no start codon: then only 2 bases would make up the stop codon.
- This leaves 4 bases which is 2 codons. This would encode 2 amino acids.
- If you assume a start and stop codon, then each codon would be allocated 2 base pairs each = 4 base pairs
- This only leaves 2 base pairs, a single codon which would only code for 1 amino acid
Choice C. Educated guess or a prediction that can be tested, based on limited evidence.
Answer:
- They allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates)
- They lower the amount of activation energy needed to complete the reaction.
- They speed up chemical reactions to form more products
Explanation:
Enzymes are proteinous molecules that serves as catalyst in living systems. Like every other catalyst, enzymes function to SPEED UP the rate of biochemical reactions by LOWERING/REDUCING the activation energy, which is the energy required for a reactant to form product (completion of reaction).
Enzymes like other catalysts causes faster movement of molecules in the reaction i.e. they allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates). This causes the rate of reaction to increase and hence, speeden the reaction.
