The number of children the organism has
Answer:
active enzyme + substrate→ product + active enzyme
Explanation:
The equation is just a representation of mechanism of enzyme action.
About enzymes, we know that they are proteinaceous substances or chemicals which take part in a chemical reaction and speed up the rate of reaction.
This is because they react with the substrate and transform it into a product in a quicker manner.
Mechanism of action:
- All the enzymatic activities are due to its specific nature and shape. Enzymes have a certain area called active site which is responsible for the enzymatic activity.
- The substrate attaches itself into the active site of the enzyme, enzyme starts its working and the end of reaction is when a product is formed and enzyme in its active form is still available and ready to speed up another reaction.
- You can see mechanism and understand in a better way in attached figure.

The impacts of climate change include warming temperatures, changes in precipitation, increases in the frequency or intensity of some extreme weather events, and rising sea levels. These impacts threaten our health by affecting the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the weather we experience.
Answer: Single covalent bond in the long hydrocarbon chain.
Saturated fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbon ( with single covalent bond) ending with the carboxylic group (-COOH). This means those fatty acids which possess only single bonds in their chemical structure are called as saturated fatty acids. They are densely packed, which makes them solid at room temperature.
Example- Lauric acid ( present in coconut oil). It has 12 carbon atoms in its chemical structure.
Answer:
A. in order to release the energy found in food.
Explanation:
Every cell in your body needs oxygen to function. You get the oxygen your cells need from the air you breathe. The air you breathe is made up of 20 percent oxygen. The rest of the air is mostly nitrogen (79%). Your body cells use the oxygen you breathe to get energy from the food you eat. This process is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar. Breaking down sugar produces the energy your body needs. This is very similar to wood burning in a fire. As the wood burns, it combines with oxygen and releases heat energy and carbon dioxide. When the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar, oxygen is used, carbon dioxide is produced, and energy is released. But instead of heat energy, much of the energy produced in cellular respiration is stored chemically for the cell to use later. Carbon dioxide is the waste product of cellular respiration that you breathe out each time you breathe. Blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs. The opposite takes place in the cells where the blood releases oxygen and picks up carbon dioxide.
