For an enzyme to catalyze a chemical reaction it is very essential for the correct substrate to bind to the active site of the enzyme.
The active site is divided into two portions :

Binding site
Catalytic site

The binding site is made up of amino acid residues that are responsible for binding to the correct substrate while the catalytic site possesses the amino acids that lead to the catalysis.
The shape of the active site is such that only the correct substrate binds to it easily and hence, the catalytic reaction takes place.

How do the size and shape of human canines compare with chimp canines

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Human canines are blunt and small in size, while chimps have big and sharp canines.

Explanation:

Chimps' mouths are larger than humans' mouths. Chimps have a flat palate; and bigger and sharper canines than humans. Also, there is a space between these teeth and the teeth at the front of the mouth. On the other hand, humans' mouths are smaller, which leads to smaller and less sharp canines, and there is no space between these teeth and the teeth at the front of the mouth.

For what cellular function does the breathing rate help regulate?

Ronch [10]

Answer: The respiratory system works with the circulatory system to provide this oxygen and to remove the waste products of metabolism. It also helps to regulate pH of the blood. Respiration is the sequence of events that results in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the body cells. The main purpose of respiration is to provide oxygen to the cells at a rate adequate to satisfy their metabolic needs. This involves transport of oxygen from the lung to the tissues by means of the circulation of blood. brainliest?

List the 4 abiotic forms of nitrogen cycle and the chemical formula

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Four abiotic forms of nitrogen cycle and its chemical formula

Ammonium – $NH^{4+}$

Ammonia – $NH^3$

Nitrite – $NO^2$

Nitrate – $NO^3$

Explanation:

Ammonium: In the nitrogen cycle ammonium is starting point that is present in soil and are converted to various forms by different process.

Ammonia: In the process of nitrogen fixation, the bacteria having nitrogenase enzymes reacts with the nitrogen as well as hydrogen and produces the ammonia, which is further converted to organic compounds.

Nitrite: The nitrosomonas bacteria present helps in conversion of nitrogen gas into nitrite.

Nitrate: Again the Nitrite is converted into Nitrate by the nitrobacter. During the process of assimilation ammonium and nitrate are absorbed by the plants.
