How do enzymes interact only with specific substrates?

Biology
2 answers:
arsen [322]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

enzymes interact only with specific substrates by this way they have active sites and specific shape of the active site which allow only the particular substrates attach to the active site.

The two theories which explain the enzyme-substrate interaction are

  • lock and key model
  • induced-fit model

Enzymes function is to increase the reaction rate that takes occurs within cells.

Thus enzyme interact only to a specific substrate for the biochemical reaction catalyze same as the lock and key.

The goal of transcription is to produce a __________________________ from a ___________________
timama [110]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The goal of transcription is to produce a RNA from a DNA segment.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).
  • DNA safely  stores genetic material in the nuclei of cells as a blue print or template.
  • The purpose of translation is to synthesize proteins, which are used for millions of cellular functions.

When does the conceptus start to use its own mrna to direct protein synthesis?
ozzi

Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. (A few genes produce other molecules that help the cell assemble proteins.) The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression.

During the process of transcription, the information stored in a gene's DNA is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus. Both RNA and DNA are made up of a chain of nucleotide bases, but they have slightly different chemical properties. The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.

Translation, the second step in getting from a gene to a protein, takes place in the cytoplasm. The mRNA interacts with a specialized complex called a ribosome, which "reads" the sequence of mRNA bases. Each sequence of three bases, called a codon, usually codes for one particular amino acid. (Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.) A type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA) assembles the protein, one amino acid at a time. Protein assembly continues until the ribosome encounters a “stop” codon (a sequence of three bases that does not code for an amino acid).

The flow of information from DNA to RNA to proteins is one of the fundamental principles of molecular biology. It is so important that it is sometimes called the “central dogma.”

How does an ultrasound produce an image of a fetus in the mother’s uterus?
Alisiya [41]
An ultrasound can produce the image of a fetus by using waves that are labeled as "ultrasound waves" or in ultrasonic frequency.

This may seem like an odd concept but you should note that everything we see and hear is made up of waves, like light and sound, that are at different frequencies.

The reason why there are different color lights are because there are different type of frequencies.  Some frequencies, such as ultrasonic, we can not see with our human eye.<span />

Which of the following consist of prokaryotic cells?
Ad libitum [116K]

The correct answer is D. Bacteria and archaea

Explanation:

In biology, cells can be mainly classified into prokaryotic and eukaryotic. The prokaryotic cells are cells with no nucleus or centrioles but they do have a cell wall, usually one chromosome and complex cilia and flagella. On the other hand, prokaryotic cells have a defined nucleus, multiple chromosomes, and centrioles and some have a cell wall. Due to the differences between these two type of cells they are part of different organisms, in the case of eukaryotic cells, these are part of the complex organism that includes animals, plants, and fungi while prokaryotic cells are those found in bacteria and archaea which are organisms with only one cell. Considering this, the ones that consist of prokaryotic cells are bacteria and archaea.
