All of the following statements about enzymes are true EXCEPT

Biology
1 answer:
kari74 [83]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(D) Enzymes can function only within living cells.

Explanation:

<em>Enzymes are biological molecules that are proteinous in nature and speed up the rate of biological reactions.</em>

Option A is true because enzymes are not used up or changed when they are used to catalyze reactions

Option B is true. Enzymes are very specific with regards to the reactions they take part in.

Option C is true. Some enzymes contain non-protein component that assist them in their functioning. These non-protein components are called co-factors.

Option E is true. Because enzymes are proteinous in nature, they can be destroyed/denatured by high temperatures.

<em>The only untrue option is D. Some enzymes can function outside living cells. For example, the enzymes involved in digestion can function not just within living cells but also outside it. The functions of some of the digestive enzymes can be demonstrated in the laboratory.</em>

The correct option is D.

Select the statement that describes recruitment in muscle contraction. Neurotransmitters from the synaptic terminal of a motor n
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The correct answer is - More motor neurons and larger motor units are activated to stimulate a greater number of muscle fibers for a more powerful muscle contraction.

Explanation:

Recruitment in muscle contraction or motor unit recruitment refers to the periodical stimulation or activation of the one or more motor neurons to get the more or enhanced strength in a muscle contraction.

Additional motor neurons or motor units are activated, along with larger motor units to stimulates a higher number of fibers for increased strength of muscle contraction.

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. They are accurate and reproducible.

Explanation:

They are accurate because they are so close to the Accepted Value of 130. We can see that they are reproducible in the experiments since it had 129 twice.

How are cyclotrons used to create synthetic elements?
Kipish [7]
Cyclotrons is used to speed up or accelerate creation of synthetic elements. Cyclotrons are also called Particle accelerator which causes the elements to speed up and collide, and fuse with another element called atomic nuclei to produce synthesized or synthetic elements.

Which of these is not supported by the endosymbiosis theory concerning organelles? A) contain DNA. B) contain ribosomes. C) are
andreev551 [17]
The answer to this question is c) are capable of living independently.

The endosymbiotic theory is a theory regarding the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotes, which states that the organelles that are specific to eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotic organisms with a single cell.

What the theory specifies is that the mitochondria and the chloroplast (as well as other plastids) are prokaryotes that used to be free-living, but have entered a eukaryotic cell about 1.5 billion years ago, and somehow managed to survive in the conditions inside it. What happened after the prokaryotic cell survived inside the eukaryotic cell is that it started relying more and more on its host, so most of the genes were tranfered to the genome of the eukaryotic cell. We can see this in today's mitochondria which has its own genome, with only genes that are completely necessary for it's survival, while most other genes it requires are a part of the nuclear DNA.

Going back to your question, both the mitochondria and the choloroplasts have two layers of phospholipids, so they have a double membrane, which suggests that they arose by entering the eukaryotic cell. The bacteria which these organelles could have originated from are bound by a vesicle when they enter a cell through the process of endocytosis, explaining how the double membrane could have appeared. Also, both of these organelles have their own DNA and ribosomes which are very similar to bacterial ones.

The only thing out of the answers you've provided that isn't supported by the endosymbiotic theory is that they aren't capable of living independently, since they have accustomed to the environment of their host cell, and need the nuclear genome to survive.
