Answer:
The cell membrane structure is very important because everything alive has cell membranes. The model used to describe the cell membrane is called the <u>fluid mosaic</u> model.
Answer:
D) They can increase the reaction rate for a given reaction by a thousand-fold or more.
Explanation:
Enzymes are like catalysts with the only difference that they are bio-molecules. Biochemical/chemical reactions are slow because of 'transition state barriers' which require a lot of energy to overcome so enzymes rather than overcoming transition state barrier provide an alternate pathway for biochemical reactions which require comparatively less energy. Thus presence of an enzyme leads to an increase in reaction rate because alternate pathway which requires less energy makes the rate of chemical reaction rapid by a thousand-fold or more.
Answer: By definition, if the atomic number =
7
, then there are 7 protons, 7 electrons, and 8 neutrons!
Explanation:
The atomic number is by definition the number of protons, positively charged particles, contained within the atomic nucleus. So if there are 7 protons, there MUST be 7 electrons, 7 negatively charged particles. Why? Because matter is electrically neutral, and positive and negative particles must be equal.
Electrons have negligible mass; the mass number depends on the number of protons contained within the nucleus, PLUS the number of neutrons. Given that we have 15 N
, there must be 8 neutrons contained within the nucleus. does this help?
