How do substrate concentration and pH affect enzyme-controlled reactions

For example, pH can have an effect of the state of ionization of acidic or basic amino acids. Acidic amino acids have carboxyl functional groups in their side chains. Basic amino acids have amine functional groups in their side chains. If the state of ionization of amino acids in a protein is altered then the ionic bonds that help to determine the 3-D shape of the protein can be altered. This can lead to altered protein recognition or an enzyme might become inactive.

Changes in pH may not only affect the shape of an enzyme but it may also change the shape or charge properties of the substrate so that either the substrate connot bind to the active site or it cannot undergo catalysis.

In geneal enzyme have a pH optimum. However the optimum is not the same for each enzyme.

<span><span>The ER assembles proteins, and the golgi body modifies and packages them.

</span>ER Golgi apparatus, because it packages proteins received from the ER cytoplasm </span>

<span>The Golgi body are the ones that slightly alter, organize and prepare so-called parcels to be delivered for all the organelles in the cell. They receive these packages mainly in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These packages that set out by Golgi body are macromolecules that used and synthesized by cells in many operations. If ER is absent then it would only mean that Golgi body would have no use other than simply lysosomes but these macromolecules plays a dynamic role in many organelles –nutrients, ATP and cell metabolism. It'll have a ripple effect if ER is absent in the cell.<span>

While walking a cornfield, you notice roots emerging from the corn stalks themselves, and you suspect that these roots are helpi

ohaa [14]

Since fibrous roots grow from the side of monocot plants, the plant roots observed on the corn stalk are fibrous roots.

<h3>What are fibrous roots?</h3>

Fibrous roots are roots of plants which are usually seen on the surafce above ground and which grow from the side of plants.

Monocotyledons such as corn have fibrous roots.

The fibrous roots help to provide support and strength to the plant.

Therefore, the plant roots observed on the corn stalk are fibrous roots.

Answer:

erosion and I will copy and paste why if you need that too

In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement). Hope you get it right good luck!

A virus is referred to as a particle rather than a cell because structurally it is a A) RNA core in a carbohydrate envelope. B)

Tems11 [23]

The correct option is D.

A virus refers to an infectious micro organism that is made up of nucleic acid molecule that is enclosed within a protein coat. Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they come in contact with living cells, in the absence of living cells they remain dormant and they do not show any sign of been a living thing. The nuclei acid molecule of a virus can be in form of a DNA molecule or a RNA molecule.
