The enzymes catalase and malate dehydrogenase are both classified as oxidoreductases. Catalase has a heme group present at its c

atalytic site, whereas malate dehydrogenase has no bound cofactors or prosthetic groups and uses NAD as a coenzyme. What can you infer about these two enzymes

Answer:

one uses metal ion catalysis, while the other uses a nonmetal group to transfer electrons

Explanation:

A prosthetic group is a non-peptide (non-protein) component of a conjugated protein, which is covalently linked to the protein and is required for its activity. A heme group is a prosthetic group composed of a protoporphyrin ring and an iron atom in the center. Catalase is a tetramer composed of 4 heme groups which allow the enzyme to react with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in order to catalyze its decomposition to water (H2O) and oxygen (O2). Moreover, a cofactor is a non-protein compound and/or metallic ion that is required by an enzyme for its activity. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme involved in oxidation-reduction chemical reactions by carrying electrons from one reaction to another. NAD exists in two different states: an oxidized state (NAD+) and a reduced state (NADH, H for hydrogen).

In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is reduced and h2o is oxidized. What type of chemical reaction is this?.
Vilka [71]

In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is reduced and H₂O is oxidized. The type of chemical reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

<h3 />

Explanation

Oxidation-reduction reaction are reactions that take place in electrochemical processes. Reduction is the reaction of decreasing oxidation number and increasing electrons and it can be said that reduction is the reaction of a substance losing oxygen. Oxidation is the reaction of increasing the oxidation number and decreasing electrons and can be said that oxidation is a reaction where the reaction of a substance binds oxygen.

Photosynthesis is one type of oxidation-reduction reaction that occurs naturally in everyday life. Photosynthesis has a complex process and involves green plants and certain bacteria. In the event of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is reduced to carbohydrates and water is oxidized to oxygen.

The oxidation-reduction reaction in photosynthesis is:

6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l) + energy --> C₆H₁₂O₆(aq) + 6O₂(g)

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

B) Mutualism

Explanation:

In mutualism both organisms benefit. The organisms in this example are the fungus and the ants. The ants provide food to the fungus so that it can live. In return the fungus provide food for the ants.

Starch, cellulose, dextran, and glycogen are polysaccharides. How are they similar? To what are their different properties due?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

similarity

Starch, cellulose,dextran and glycogen are all polymers of glucose

differences

                monomer/glucose     glycosidic bond    branching

1.starch              α glucose          1-4 and 1-6               branch and unbranced

  amylose                                       1-4                          unbranched

  amylopectin                               1-4 and 1-6              branched

2. dextran          α glucose          1-6                           branched

3. cellulose        β glucose           1-4                          unbranched, linear        

4. glycogen       α glucose           1-4 and 1-6              branched (shorter

                                                                                     branches than starch)

Enzyme: amlase acts on starch and cellulase acts on cellulose as they are specific for their substrates.

Explanation:

Starch: Consists of both branched amylopectin and unbranched amylose

Enzymes: Enzymes are specific as the gulcose molecule in starch is α and in cellulose is β which differ in their position of hydroxyl groups at anomeric carbon, their structures differ so they form different bonds. Active sites of enzymes can act only on specific bonds a sthey can fit to their specific substrates.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

naturalistic observation

Explanation:

The best possible way to study how tigers interact with each other in their habitats would be to use a naturalistic observation. This type of observation focuses on observing the main subject of the study in it's natural environment without interfering in any sort of way. This allows the scientists to observe exactly how the tigers interact when there are no humans around.
