What is meant by the "induced fit” of an enzyme?

1 answer:

Induced Fit. When an enzyme binds to the appropriate substrate, subtle changes in the active site occur. This alteration of the active site is known as an induced fit. Induced fit enhances catalysis, as the enzyme converts substrate to product.

Why is death by predators more natural or right then death by starvation?

balu736 [363]

Predators have to eat. If things are good in an eco-system then the prey is eating good which means the predators can eat good also. Starvation means that things in the eco-system are going bad. Also, It helps the earth maintain its balance. If too much of any aspect of the system is removed it throws the whole thing off balance. too many herbivores will eat too much vegetation.

Mary is campaigning for improved air quality in her city. She is very concerned about carbon and methane outputs, but not phosph

Galina-37 [17]

The answer is; D

Carbon dioxide and methane are potent greenhouse gases. They cause heating of the lower atmosphere, by trapping sunlight, that results to climate change. Due to the higher melting and boiling temperatures of phosphorus, it is rare that it occurs as gas in room temperatures. Phosphorus, therefore, does not pose a great threat of climate change.

Please help!! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST !! Can you figure out the modern spreading rate of the Mid- Atlantic ridge? Use that line t

Naddik [55]

Answer:

R = 16mm/y

Explanation:

Modern Spreading Rate (R) = distance the seafloor moved in km (d) / age in million years (t)

R = d/t

To calculate it in millimeters per year we need to convert it:

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 100 cm

1cm = 10mm

1 km = 1,000,000 mm

The problem states that in 150 million years, there is a distance of 2400 km.

if 1 km ------- 1,000,000 mm

2400 km-------X = 2400,000,000 mm

If 1 million years -------1,000,000 years

150 my----X = 150,000,000 years

R = d/t

R = 2400,000,000 mm/150,000,000 y.

R = 16mm/y
