Explain the advantage in having an inducible enzyme system that is regulated by the presence of a substrate?
It is an advantage because when the substance is present, the genes responsible for it metabolism are turned on.
What type of molecule is made from amino acids and acts as a biological catalyst?
Molecules that act as catalysts in biological systems are enzymes. Enzyme catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme?
The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
An enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA at specific nucleotide sequences?
Such an enzyme is called a restriction endonuclease
What is an adaptive enzyme?
An adaptive enzyme is an enzyme which is present in a cell only under conditions where it is clear of adaptive value.
What are the required components of antioxidant enzyme systems?
The required components of the antioxidant enzyme systems are antioxidant minerals. Antioxidants are substances that help prevent damage to cells.
What is a protein that speeds up chemical reations in living systems?
an enzyme
Which of the following are required components of antioxidant enzyme systems?
antioxidant minerals
A cation within the body's cells active in many enzyme systems?
magnesium
Explain the advantage in having an inducible enzyme system that is regulated by the presence of a substrate?
It is an advantage because when the substance is present, the genes responsible for it metabolism are turned on.
What is the name of the substance that speeds up chemical reactions?
This substance is called catalyst; and in living systems it is an enzyme.
An example of a biological catalyst?
Enzymes are biological catalysts so Amylase, Maltase, Protease, Lipase. Yeast is also a biological catalyst.
What is the advantage of restriction enzyme sites being palindromic?
This condition results in a doubling of the possibility "for a specific bio-molecular 'hit'."
What is the mineral active in many enzyme systems that directly affects the metabolism of potassium calcium and vitamin D?
Magnesium
How enzymes influence chemical reactions in living systems by?
We can use the lock and key hypothesis to describe the work of an enzyme,in this the substrate are the pieces to be joined and the enzyme shape represent their whole,thats why the shape of an enzyme is necessary for its work
Why you put clavulanic acid with amoxicillin?
Clavulanic acid is an antibiotic, which selectively blocks the betalactamase enzyme. So the amoxicillin is left free to kill the bacteria, which produce betalactamase enzyme. For this advantage, clavulanic acid is added with amoxicillin.
