Explain the function of enzymes and how enzymes can be denatured.

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

Plants use carbohydrates to build things such as cellulose. How do plants acquire these building blocks to build mass?
koban [17]
I believe the correct response would be C. Plants acquire carbohydrates by producing them through the process of photosynthesis. This allows plants to then use the formed carbohydrates to build structural polymers, such as cellulose.

Which of the following statements about the organization of the purine synthetic enzymes are true? The process involves multifun
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: All of the statements are true.

Explanation:

Purines are biologically synthesized as nucleotides and in particular as ribotides, that is, bases attached to ribose 5-phosphate. Adenine and guanine are both derived from the nucleotide inosine monophosphate (IMP), which is the first compound in the pathway to have a completely formed purine ring system.

Purine nucleotides can be synthesized in two distinct pathways. First, purines are synthesized de novo, starting with simple starting materials such as amino acids and bicarbonate. the purine bases are assembled already attached to the ribose ring. Alternatively, purine bases, released by the hydrolytic degradation of nucleic acids and nucleotides, can be salvaged and recycled. Purine salvage pathways are mostly noted for the energy that they save and the remarkable effects of their absence.

All statements are correct because the organization of purine synthetic enzymes involves multifunctional enzymes, reversible enzyme formations, through out the sequence there is maintenance of high local concentration and the ten steps requires only six enzymes.
