Which one of the following statements correctly defines active site?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey, Welcome to OpenStudy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Heyy and Thanks:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are there choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i don't see none

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so: Which one of the following statements correctly defines active site? why the ****Which one of the following statements****

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyways, An active site is where the substrate binds to the enzyme. A substrate is the reactant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O mybad , i have another question . . . Why are enzymes known as biocatalysts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the active site is the small portion of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This chemical reaction occurs when a substrate collides with and slots into the active site of an enzyme

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm i dont see them has a choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why are enzymes known as biocatalysts? **A catalyst is something that speeds up a reaction, but is not used up in the process. Enzymes are known as biocatalysts because they work in the same way normal catalysts work, they speed up a reaction, whilst never being used up and they are an organic compound. ** so because enzymes act as catalysts that remain unmodified as they increase the rate of a chemical reaction. also An enzyme is a natural catalyst in living things. Bio means life, so an enzyme is a biocatalyst because it works in living things.

In Indian cuisine, sometimes a papaya is added to make meat cook faster. Why does this method work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There's an enzyme that's naturally found in unripe papayas, called "papain."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For many years, people have used it as a meat tenderizer, because it breaks down tough muscle fibers, in meat.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When we tenderize meat, we soften it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And tender meat cooks faster than tough meat.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically because of enzymes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why is the enzyme pectinase added during the manufacture of fruit juices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pectinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of pectin, a component of the cell wall in fruits such as apples and oranges

has already been answered before in this post?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh yeaa thanks:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the best definition of a eukaryotic cell?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within membranes.

thomaster (thomaster):

they're cells with a nucleus bounded by a nuclear membrane

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which statement about ribosomes is correct? A).prokaryotic ribosomes are larger than eukaryotic B). prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller than eukaryotic C). both the same size

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Prokaryotic ribosomes are around 20 nm (200 Å) in diameter and are composed of 65% ribosomal RNA and 35% ribosomal proteins. Eukaryotic ribosomes are between 25 and 30 nm (250–300 Å) in diameter and the ratio of rRNA to protein is close to 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an example of a prokaryote?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bacterias virusus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

types of bacteria an is lactobacillus one of them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rod shaped, cocci

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an example of a eukaryote?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plants animals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

most appropriate example of the denaturation of protein.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The active site is a site on the enzyme molecule where specific substrate molecules bind. The active site is a site on the substrate molecule where specific enzyme molecules bind. The active site is a site on the substrate molecule where specific product molecules bind.
