Absence of oxygen means anaerobic respiration ; which has 2 different pathways.
First Pathway ; Alcoholic fermentation which takes place in yeast.
Pyruvate is decarboxylated into ethanal releasing co2 as waste product.
Ethanal is toxic , so its reduced by help of NADH to ethanol in presence of alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme , and Free NAD is released to continue glycolysis.
2) The second pathway is Lactic fermentation which takes place in mammalian muscles.
Pyruvate accepts hydrogen and is converted to lactate by the help of enzyme lactate dehydrogenase , again free NAD is released to continue glycolysis.
Hope I made it clear enough :)
Answer:
Explanation: Without gene duplication, mutation of genes would not exist. This would prevent organisms from adapting to their environment, making survival much more difficult if not impossible.
I found the attached image on the internet and it really helps complete this exercise.
First question:
In the presence of an enzyme, the course of the reaction is shown by the
red curve. The necessary energy to make a reaction occur is less when there is an enzyme to help the reaction happen. Enzymes work as catalysts that act over substrates converting them into different molecules in a much accelerated way then it would happen without the enzyme's help, if it would happen at all.
Second question:
The activation energy is represented by
line B. The activation energy is the energy needed to be available for a reaction to happen. If we compare it with line A, which represents the activation energy necessary for a reaction without an enzyme, we can see how much less energy is necessary to dispend when an enzyme is part of the reaction. Line C represents the energy resultant from the reaction.
