Can enzyme fit everything

Biology

I'm not sure what you mean by "everything", but a substrate definitely can fit inside an enzyme!

Let's use the enzyme sucrase as an example. There's a vacant space in the enzyme called an "active site" where the substrate enters. In this case, sucrase's substrate is sucrose. The substrate "sucrose" enters and binds to the enzyme sucrase's active site. The binded sucrose and sucrase is called the "enzyme-substrate complex" because the enzyme and the substrate are present. This lowers the activation energy of a reaction, therefore speeding up the reaction as a result. The sucrose is converted into new products: glucose and fructose.

Enzymes are specific to their substrate because their active site only fits certain molecules. However, sometimes a similar-shaped item can fit in the active site and block it off :c

An enzyme works like a key to a lock. If it finds the right thing it can work.

Hope it helps.

What is photosynyhesis and cellular respiration?
Alex787 [66]

Cellular Respiration is when cells use oxygen and water to create a food source for the cell. The formula for photosynthesis is the same for cellular respiration except it's backwards. Hope this helps.

A polarized cell Group of answer choices has a charge imbalance across its membrane. includes most cells of the body. exhibits a
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The unequal distribution of ions inside and outside of the cell makes the membrane potential of the cell. The potential is important for the conduction of the impulse and generation of the action potential.

The resting membrane potential of the nerve impulse is maintained by the presence of large potassium ions inside the cell. The resting membrane potential is -70mV. The depolarization of the membrane occurs due to influx of the sodium ions.

Thus, the answer is true.

A man who is aware that he is a silent carrier of the FMO3 ""fish odor syndrome"" gene has children with a woman who is ""normal
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

This could be possible if the  wife  is a carrier of the FMO3 allele.   Therefore the two carrier parents must have  passed the defective alleles to the child, who now possessed the gene for the FMO3, and said to be dominant for the fish odor.

In genetics a Carrier  is an individual who inherited a defective allele (FMO3) , but do not show the manifestations of the allele, or symptoms of the diseases attributed to it. Therefore the wife is a Carrier for the allele if the child could show this symptoms of fish odor.
