Enzymes are protein catalysts. What is the role of a catalyst?

Biology
1 answer:
Lyrx [107]3 years ago
7 0

Enzymes are proteins catalysts and speed up reactions by lowering the energy needed to start them. Catalysts speed up the reactions in the cells so that they can happen in a fraction of a second, making them happen more quickly. Without catalysts, most cell reactions would not happen even over long periods of time.

Select the incorrect statement regarding macromolecules found in cells.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

The repeating subunits of DNA are ribonucleotides whereas in RNA they are deoxyribonucleotides.

Explanation:

Ribonucleotides are repeating subunit of RNA while the deoxy-ribonucleotides are repeating subunits of DNA. That why RNA full form represent the ribonucleic acid and DNA represent deoxyribonucleic acid.

Actually the word "deoxy" means one oxygen is removed or less in DNA. The DNA  lacks the one oxygen atom of hydroxyl group at carbon number two of ribose sugar. While RNA have the hydroxyl group at carbon number two of hydrogen atom.

The removal of one hydrogen atom in DNA make it more stable than RNA because DNA is made specifically to store genetic information and needed to be strong. The oxygen atom in RNA makes it vulnerable for attack by other biological molecules.

How are diffusion and osmosis different? A. Osmosis is the movement of proteins. Diffusion is the movement of water. B. Osmosis
stepladder [879]
The answer is B, osmosis is the movement of water. Diffusion is the movement to chemicals and molecules.

Both osmosis and diffusion are movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration of the substance moving to lower concentration down the concentration gradient. However, osmosis is only for the movement of water molecules, while diffusion is for any type of substances including liquid or gas. So we can also say osmosis is a type of diffusion actually.

And also, both of these movement of molecules does not require extra energy, they all happen due to natural tendency.
