What are the effects that enzymes can have on substrates
Burka [1]
In chemical reactions involving enzymes, the substrate proteins are huge molecules that will only react with each other if they're aligned just the right way. If they are permitted to interact with the enzymes present, the won't collide and react often enough for the reaction to do any good.The enzymes align the molecules, basically acting like "molecule shepherds," showing them the way they need to react.This speeds up the reaction greatly, making things like digestion possible. Hope this is helpful

How does evolution lead to both the diversity and the unity of life?
gogolik [260]
<span>Simple. All of the millions of different life forms (the diversity of life) have come about by natural selection, whereby random mutations in the genes have either succeeded or failed. But all life can be traced back to a common single-celled origin. Thus we have the unity of life where we (possibly) share more than 50 % of our DNA with a crocodile.eg:analogous organs, homologous organs.</span>
