b)1 unicellular- means one cell
In a voltaic cell, electrons flow from the anode to the cathode. Anode is negative while cathode is positive.
In an electrolytic cell, electron flows from the cathode to the anode. Anode is positive and cathode is negative.
For both, Oxidation occurs at the anode and Reduction occurs at the cathode.
Answer:
Citrate Synthase facilitates the formation of citrate by deprotonating Acetyl CoA and by protonating the carbonyl oxygen of oxaloacetate
Explanation:
Citrate synthase is a key enzyme in the citric acid cycle that functions to catalyze the formation of citrate from oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA: acetyl-CoA + oxaloacetate + H2O >> citrate + CoA-SH (Coenzyme A ). This enzyme contains three amino acids at its active site that work together to catalyze the conversion of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate into citrate. This active site acts by abstracting (deprotonating) a proton from the alpha carbon of Acetyl CoA which serves as the nucleophile. Subsequently, the active site of the enzyme also protonates the carbonyl oxygen of oxaloacetate, which then suffers nucleophilic attack and thereby facilitating nucleophilic substitution reaction.
It means that they are not like pre-set blueprints. They react differently according to changes in the environment.<span />
