Answer:

From the diagram X = <u>base pairs</u>

Explanation:

Genetic information stored within DNA is used for growth, reproduction, and cell repair. DNA, deoxyribonucleic acids, are long-chain, helical macromolecules made of specific sequences of covalently bonded monomers called nucleotides.

Nucleotides comprise:

a 5-Carbon deoxyribose sugar,
one nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine thymine, and cytosine)
and a phosphate group.

Nitrogenous bases cause nucleotides to form hydrogen bonds with other nucleotides as base-pairs. The four types of bases each make the nucleotides Thymine and Cytosine (pyrimidine bases) along with Guanine, and Adenine, (purine bases). In base-pair formation, Adenine forms double bonds with Thymine, and cytosine forms triple bonds with guanine.

with regard to enzymes, what can be said to the relationship between the substance and the active site?

77julia77 [94]

The substrate and the active site both need to fit together perfectly in order for the enzyme to work properly. If their shape is changed, typically through heat or a change in pH, the enzyme will not work.

How do i answer this? i don't understand it.

k0ka [10]

So the answer for (a) is basically the enzyme is breaking down the protein (which is the colored part) and this leaves the clear.

For the constants it would be the film and the temperature that the solution is at

For the final question, they could be improved by using more data and multiple trials
