Which characteristic of enzymes allows it to be highly specific in the reactions they catalyze?

Physics

svp [43]3 years ago

Answer: Option (a) is the correct option.

Explanation:

Enzymes are the catalysts which helps in completion of biochemical reactions in a living organism.

Binding between the active site of an enzyme and a substrate molecule is described by the lock and key hypothesis. It states that fixed structure of an active site behaves as a lock which exactly matched the structure of a specific substrate that behaves as a key.

There is a specific enzyme for each biological function because of its structure as an active site is present in every enzyme. This active site reacts with the reactant molecules which results in the formation of a reaction intermediate.

Thus, the speed of reaction increases and products are obtained quickly.

Which means for obtaining hydrogen from water would require the most energy??
Flauer [41]
I think the correct answer would be to electrolyze water (run an electric current through it) to decompose it into hydrogen and oxygen. Assuming 100% efficiency, it is said that it needs about 40kWh per kilogram of water to fully decompose it.

A 0.14-MIN baseball is dropped from rest. It has a momentum of 0.90 kg⋅m/skg⋅m/s just before it lands on the ground.
nikitadnepr [17]

The time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>momentum of the ball, P = 0.9 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>weight of the ball, W = 0.14 N</em>

The impulse experienced by the ball is calculated as follows;

Ft = \Delta P

where;

Ft is impulse

\Delta P is change in momentum

The time of motion of the ball is calculated as follows;

t = \frac{\Delta P}{F} \\\\t = \frac{0.9 - 0}{0.14} \\\\t = 6.43 \ s

Thus, the time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

A student drops an object out the window of the top floor of a high-rise dormitory.
seropon [69]

-- The acceleration due to gravity is 32.2 ft/sec² .  That  means that the
speed of a falling object increases by an additional 32.2 ft/sec every second.

-- If dropped from "rest" (zero initial speed), then after falling for 4 seconds,
the object's speed is (4.0) x (32.2) = <em>128.8 ft/sec</em>.

-- 128.8 ft/sec = <em>87.8 miles per hour</em>

Now we can switch over to the metric system, where the acceleration
due to gravity is typically rounded to 9.8 meters/sec² .

-- Distance = (1/2) x (acceleration) x (time)²

       D = (1/2) (9.8) x (4)² =<em>  78.4 meters</em>

-- At 32 floors per 100 meters,  78.4 meters = dropped from the <em>25th floor</em>.


The 5 points are certainly appreciated, but I do wish they were Celsius points.

What is 0.0025 m^2 in cm^2? 1m = 100cm.
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

25 cm²

Explanation:

Meters and centimeters are both the units for measuring length. The SI unit of measuring length is meters.

Area is the quantity which measures the cross-section occupied by the object.

Thus,

Given that = Area = 0.0025 m²

To convert into cm²

1 m = 100 cm

So, 1 m² = 10000 cm²

So,

<u>Area = 0.0025 × 10000 cm² = 25 cm²</u>

Help!!! I need it today <br> Thank you in advance
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

 F = - k (x-xo) a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

Explanation:

The student wants to prove hooke's law which has the form

          F = - k (x-xo)

To do this we hang the spring in a vertical position and mark the equilibrium position on a tape measure, to simplify the calculations we can make this point zero by placing our reference system in this position.

Now for a series of known masses let's get them one by one and measure the spring elongation, building a table of weight vs elongation,

we must be careful when hanging the weights so as not to create oscillations in the spring

we look for the mass of each weight

         W = mg

          m = W / g

and we write them in a new column, we make a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation and it should give a straight line; the slope of this line is sought, which is the spring constant.

The fact of obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.
