For example, pH can have an effect of the state of ionization of acidic or basic amino acids. Acidic amino acids have carboxyl functional groups in their side chains. Basic amino acids have amine functional groups in their side chains. If the state of ionization of amino acids in a protein is altered then the ionic bonds that help to determine the 3-D shape of the protein can be altered. This can lead to altered protein recognition or an enzyme might become inactive.
Changes in pH may not only affect the shape of an enzyme but it may also change the shape or charge properties of the substrate so that either the substrate connot bind to the active site or it cannot undergo catalysis.
In geneal enzyme have a pH optimum. However the optimum is not the same for each enzyme.
QUESTION:
Under which circumstances do plants take up water by osmosis?
ANSWER:
<u>The conditions necessary for occurring osmosis in plants</u>:–
- Presence of a concentration gradient.
- The solution separated by a semi permieable membrane should have different concentration.
- Presence of a semi permeable membrane.
The answer is true. Adaptation allows for a better chance of survival.
Hope this helps!
Explanation:
A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts.
