Answer:
<u>H2PO4- is a proton donor and HPO42_ is a proton acceptor</u>
Explanation:
Step 1: What are hydrogen ion donor and acceptor
in the following reaction we see that:
⇒ H2PO4- is more likely to give a H+ ion to form HPO42-.
⇒HPO42- is more likely to take a H+ ion, to form H2PO4-
The reaction of an acid in water solvent is described as a dissociation
:
HA ⇔ H+ + A-
⇒where HA is a proton acid
So, H2PO4- = HA and HPO42- = A-
Acids are proton donors. So, <u>H2PO4- is a proton donor and HPO42_ is a proton acceptor</u>
Remember the acronym "Oil Rig". Oxidation is loss, Reduction is gain of electrons. Calcium is losing electrons so it's an oxidation reaction.
Answer: Induced Fit
Explanation: The process wherein the enzymes change their shape is called as induced fit. It is the precision aligning of enzymes essential for catalytic activity which is caused by the binding of the substrate as enzymes possess active sites. Hence, as the substrate approaches the enzymes, the enzyme alters its shape.
