How is the structure of the endoplasmic related to its function?
The structure of the endoplasmic related to its function by the smooth ER having a high surface area. This allows larger amounts of action and the storage of key enzymes.
What is present within the mitochondrion that allows the reaction to occur?
ENZYMES
What is the function of cell lyosomes?
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes (acid hydrolases). They digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. The membrane surrounding a lysosome allows the digestive enzymes to work at the 4.5 pH they require. Lysosomes fuse with vacuoles and dispense their enzymes into the vacuoles, digesting their contents.
What is an enyzme made of and what is it's function?
Enzymes are made from amino acids. Once the amino acids are stringed together in a very specific order, they fold into a unique shape. That shape allows the enzyme to carry out specific chemical reactions. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze (change the rate of) chemical reactions, usually speeding up the rate.
How does compartmentalization organize a cells function?
It allows for specialized functions in each of the compartments. Also, different concentrations of substances inside vs. outside the compartment can be used. For example, lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. The organism doesn't want the enzymes just loose in the cell, because the enzymes might break down something the cell needs. Another example is the mitochondria, which uses a difference of concentration of hydrogen ions to make ATP (the form of energy used in cells).

If Pectinase only breaks down pectin and It has no effect in cellulose What term is used to describe this characteristic of enzymes?
Enzymes are substrate specific; meaning that their active site only allows for a certain substrate to bind - in this case, pectin, and the enzyme has no effect on any other biological molecules
What is the function of the vocal cords?
It allows a sound to come out the throat to give off sound waves.
What do enzymes do for the body?
Enzymes are globular proteins that function as biological catalysts in the body. They help to activate and speed up anabolic and catabolic reactions. For example, enzymes help to break down/digest the food you eat.
What is present within the mitochondria that allows the reaction to occur?
Enzymes.
What is present within the mitochondrion that allows the reaction to occur?
ENZYMES
How Is function and structure related?
structure allows function. for example, you can walk because you have a skeleton; the structure of your skeleton allows the function of walking.
What characteristic of aluminum allows it to be made into aluminum foil?
It is malleable
Why is the pH system in your lower intestine about 8?
Because the pH in the stomach is below 7, which makes it acidic. This high pH returns the food to a neutral pH, and also allows the enzymes within it to function properly.
What is the function of cell lyosomes?
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes (acid hydrolases). They digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. The membrane surrounding a lysosome allows the digestive enzymes to work at the 4.5 pH they require. Lysosomes fuse with vacuoles and dispense their enzymes into the vacuoles, digesting their contents.
What basic characteristic of life allows organisms to duplicate themselves?
reproduction
