Biology
1 answer:
Lerok [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

They speed up chemical reactions and are denatured by high temperatures and high pH.

Explanation:

Enzymes speed up chemical reactions. They have specifc conditions that allow them to work effectively. Temperature and pH affects how enzymes work. The optimum temperature is the temperature at which enzymes will function best. In most instances they are around 37-40°C (in the human body). Temperatures above this will denatured (destroy) the enzymes therefore they cannot do their task. At Temperatures below the optimum temperature the enzymes activity is decreased to the point where they may not be active.

Optimum pH is the pH at which the enzymes works best. These vary based on the type of enzyme. Any pH above the optimum will denatured the enzymes (destroy). pH below the optimum will decrease the ezymes activity to the point where they may not be active

<h2>They are classified on the basis of their cell wall composition and as well as by the reaction to the Gram stain test. </h2>

Explanation:

Most bacteria are classified into two main categories

i) Gram positive bacteria and ,

ii) Gram negative bacteria.  

They are classified on the basis of their cell wall composition and as well as by the reaction to the Gram stain test.

Gram positive bacteria's characteristics

 ii) they have cell walls composed mostly of  peptidoglycan.

i) stain purple after Gram staining.

Gram negative bacteria's characteristics.  

i) they have cell wall only a thin layer of peptidoglycan and an outer membrane with a lipopolysaccharide component.

Which structure ATP or ADP contains more stored energy? Where is the energy stored
koban [17]
The ATP is the adenosine triphosphate. The ATP molecule has the three phosphate molecules attached with the adenosine. The ADP is the adenosine diphosphate. It has two phosphate groups. The number of phosphate molecules is responsible for the amount of energy in bonds. Hence the ATP molecule has the three phosphate group hence it has more stored energy as compared to the ADP molecule which has two phosphate group.
