Biology
1 answer:
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Enzymes allow activation energies to be lowered.

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts lower the activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy.

Cellulose is another long polymer of glucose. Plant cells make their cell walls out of cellulose. In fact, 100 billion tons of cellulose is made every year on earth. Cellulose is indigestible in most animals, including us. Ever eat a cardboard box? You get the picture. We simply lack cellulase, the enzyme that can break it down. Some bacteria, some single-celled protists, and fungi have the enzyme. Animals that feed on cellulose harbor these microbes that help them digest it. Even though, we cannot break down this molecule, we do need cellulose in our diet. We call it “fiber”. Cellulose stimulates the colon to produce regular bowel movements and helps make the stools large and soft. A diet rich in fiber can prevent a painful intestinal disorder called diverticulosis. Hard impacted stools can sometimes cause the walls of the colon to form blind outpockets called diverticula which can periodically inflame. So what makes cellulose different from starch? Isn’t it made of glucose? Well it is but the glucose monomers are organized in an interesting fashion. The orientation of the glucose molecules alternates. So if the first one is right side up, the next one is upside down and then the next is right side up and the next one is upside down. Apparently this is a tricky arrangement for an enzyme to break.

Regulatory proteins typically contain sites that can bind to other proteins or small molecules. Through such binding interaction
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Regulatory sites e.g enhancers and silencers

Explanation:

Gene expression involves the synthesis of gene products usually proteins and RNA. However, a certain product might not be needed at all or in small quantity. Gene regulation mechanism is the process that makes this happen. Gene regulation is the mechanism that acts to induce or repress the expression of a gene.

Gene regulation involves controlling the rate and manner of gene expression which is achieved through a set of regulatory proteins called transcription factors. Transcription factors bind to specific regulatory nucleotide sequences and help to turn "on or off" specific genes in the DNA.

Transcription factors can either be ACTIVATORS or REPRESSORS depending on whether they boost or inhibit gene expression. The binding sites for these regulatory proteins called TRANSCRIPTION factors are the regulatory nucleotide sequences on the DNA called enhancers and silencers.
