How do an enzyme and substrate to one another? what is the lock and key model of enzyme function?

1 answer:

3 0

The lock and key model is where the substrate has a specific shape which can fit into the specific shape of the active site of the enzyme, just like how a key has a specific shape which can fit into a specific lock.

In other words, the substrate is complementary (same shape) to a specific enzyme, so the substrate can bind/fit to the enzyme.

How has human interaction affected the Mississippi Delta?

BaLLatris [955]

Explanation:

Sediment discharge was historically approximately 270 million cubic meters/year of suspended load and 130 million cubic meters/year of bedload. This has decreased 80% since 1850 and can be divided into three periods: historical period (pre 1900), pre-dam period (1932-1952), and post dam (1963-1982). Suspended sediment loads declined 43% between the historical and pre-dam and 51% from pre-dam to post-dam periods. The size of sediment also decreased drastically including a 72% decrease in the sand fraction. Most of this is due to dams on the tributaries acting as sediment traps primarily for the coarser sediments. Large-scale land clearing for agriculture contributed to increased sediment loads in the historic period.

List four ways in which members of the same species can cooperate with each other.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Cooperation is common in non-human animals. Besides cooperation with an immediate benefit for both actors, this behavior appears to occur mostly between relatives.[1] Spending time and resources assisting a related individual may at first seem destructive to the organism’s chances of survival but is actually beneficial over the long-term. Since relatives share part of their genetic make-up, enhancing each other’s chances of survival may actually increase the likelihood that the helper’s genetic traits will be passed on to future generations.[6] The cooperative pulling paradigm is an experimental design used to assess if and under which conditions animals cooperate. It involves two or more animals pulling rewards towards themselves via an apparatus they can not successfully operate alone.[7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Turtles eat the grass, grass is needed for fish breeding. If there are more turtles, they will eat more grass and there will obvious be less of it. If there is not enough grass, other populations of fish will leave because they can't breed.
