Enzymes are (usually) specific to the substrates they bind to. Thus, each enzyme has one and only one substrate structure they can metabolize, so even substrates with similar structures cannot be broken down by an enzyme specific to one of them.

Which organism has the least differences in the number of amino acids in cytochrome c compared to
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Using the number of amino acid differences, it would appear that the two birds are more closely related (had a common ancestor very recently), while the two fungi would have to trace their common ancestry much farther back in time (much more distantly related).

Members of which phylum establish a successful symbiotic relationship with the roots of trees?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is Glomeromycota

Explanation:

Arbuscular mycorrhizae are characterized by the formation of unique structures, arbuscles, coils and vesicles of fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota. They are a type of endomicorrhiza in which the fungus penetrates the cortical cells of the roots of a vascular plant.

In this symbiotic association, the fungus helps the plant to capture nutrients such as phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen and soil micronutrients. It is believed that the development of symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizae played a crucial role in the initial colonization of the earth by plants and in the evolution of vascular plants.

This symbiosis is a highly evolved mutualistic relationship found between fungi and plants.

Lena [83]

Answer:

light

Explanation:

The above experiment is an investigation on the factors that affect photosynthesis which include carbon dioxide concentration,light intensity and quality,chlorophyll, water and temperature.Light was the independent variable. When the lant is moved to an area where light intensity is low, the rate of photosynthesis decreases.

After the experiment, oxygen gas is produced being a by-product of photosynthesis. Plants that are not adapted to an aquatic environment are not suitable for this experiment. The amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in water is low.
