Answer:

A. It increases the amount of energy needed to break the bonds in the substrate.

Explanation:

Enzymes are known to be protein-based catalyst. It helps to speed up the chemical reactions that take place in the human body. They actually bind molecules and work in ways to alter chemical reactions. These enzymes are needed for food digestion, reproduction, healing diseases, blood coagulation, etc.

Enzymes help to increase the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy. Certain enzymes can work to convert substrate to product at million of times faster. As a catalyst, it increases the energy needed to break bonds found in the substrate. This makes the reaction to occur at a faster rate.

Ampicillin is a member of the penicillin family of antibiotics. what would happen to ampr bacterial strains if they were streake
artcher [175]

The amoxicillin and the ampicillin are known to degrade the cell wall. both of these antibiotics have β- lactam in their structure. The structure of the ampicillin and the amoxicillin is similar having a single difference at the 4th position of benzene ring. The structure of the amoxicillin have an addition OH or hydroxyl group at the 4th position in the benzene ring.

As the structure of ampicillin and amoxicillin is similar, the bacteria having ampicillin resistance can also show amoxicillin resistance.

MODE OF ACTION OF AMOXICILLIN:

The amoxicillin binds with the pencillin binding proteins, present in the bacterial cell wall. The binding of the amoxicillin inhibits the enzyme transpepetidase, which is an important enzyme for the synthesis of the cell wall. it also inhibit murine hydrolases and inhibit the assembling of cell wall.

The amoxicillin effects the cell walls of the bacteria, as the animals cells do not have cell wall, they only have a cell membrane, the increase in the dose would not effect the animal cell.

mendel was able to identify predictable patterns of heredity. he succeeded mainly because he chose to study traits that
34kurt

Answer:

...were due to single genes and followed simple inheritance patterns (dominant/recessive).

Explanation:

The traits Mendel studied were easy to track because the two possible outcomes were distinct and the trait itself was visible and trackable.  The fact that they followed simple inheritance patterns helped him when he was determining his ratios for different crosses because complex inheritance would've muddled his data.
