Enzyme Activity and pH

Biology
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

B) After determining the optimum pH, they could vary the temperature of the environment to see if catalase is temperature specific

Enzymes are proteins which catalyze reactions by acting on substrates in order to speed up reactions- like the breakdown of large polysaccharides by amylase. Here, the enzyme catalase facilitates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and hydrogen. Catalase specificity is affected by pH, temperature and the presence of inhibitors.

In temperatures beyond its optimal range, catalase may undergo changes to its physical structure called denaturation; when denatured, enzymes lose their ability to bind specifically to their substrate -i.e. substrate binding specificity is lost. H2O2 would no longer be able to bind to the active site, and thus would not be broken down.

Which pair of terms concerning the osmotic effect of a solution on red blood cells is mismatched?
QveST [7]
Even though there are no choices given in this particular question, the principle of osmosis is very easy to understand. 

When we talk about osmosis, we are referring to the movement of water from a low concentration to a higher concentration. This is different from diffusion, which talks specifically about the movement of <em>solutes</em> in the solution (from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.)

When an RBC is placed inside a <em>hypertonic </em>solution, the water inside the RBC will go out thereby shrinking the RBC.

Inside an <em>isotonic</em> solution, the RBC will remain the same because the concentrations are equal.

Inside a <em>hypotonic</em> solution, the RBC will lyse or explode because water will move from the solution going inside the RBC.
