What are the substaites of rubisco?
Two substrates of rubisco when it acts as a carboxylase are that it catalyzes the first reaction and it catalyzes the oxidation of RuBP to phospho-glycolate.
What is an enzymatic process?
Any chemical reaction or series of reactions catalysed by an enzyme.
What enzyme helps produce ATP in light reaction?
In plants and algae, the enzyme RUBISCO helps with photosynthesis.
What does Carbon dioxide bind to in the Calvin cycle?
Carbon dioxide acts as a source of carbon, it is an inorganic molecule which reactions with RuBP (Ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate) to for an unstable 6 carbon compound which breaks down into 2 molecules of GP (Glycerate 3-phosphate). Note: The reaction of CO2 and RuBP is catalysed by Rubisco (Ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase) GP in turn is used to synthesize amino acids (with the use of nitrates from the soil) and fatty acids.
Does acetone function as a catalyst?
As most catalysts are quite specific in the (or at least the type of) reaction, in others not working at all, I can't give an answer for 'your acetone-reaction'. But to my best knowledge there are very few reactions I can think of being catalysed by acetone; never heard of, you know.
Why is the reaction between iodine and acetone catalysed?
it is an acid catalised reaction, commonly HCl.
What are the substaites of rubisco?
Two substrates of rubisco when it acts as a carboxylase are that it catalyzes the first reaction and it catalyzes the oxidation of RuBP to phospho-glycolate.
What is an enzymatic process?
Any chemical reaction or series of reactions catalysed by an enzyme.
Which graph what would be the same in an enzyme-catalysed or noncatalyzed reaction?
Delta G (d)
How much catalyst remains at the end of a catalysed reaction?
All the catalyst remains as it is not incorporated into the reaction products, it just speeds up the reaction time.
Is a catalysed reaction the same as a chemical reaction?
Yes, the only difference is that a catalyst is used to change the activation energy of the reaction, so the reaction will occur at a different rate.
When a reaction is catalysed by a positive catalyst then product increase or not?
Yes, the product increases because positive catalysts increase the rate of the reaction.
C2H4 plus H2O equals?
This reaction is an example of a 'hydration' or 'addition' reaction of alkenes: (ethene + water) C2H4 + H2O --> C2H5OH (ethanol) The reaction is catalysed by H+ ions (acid)
What is the definition of a Rubisco?
Rubisco is an important enzyme
Carbon fixation is catalyzed by what enzyme?
Rubisco
What are 3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalyzed reaction?
3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalysed reaction are: .Temperature .Enzyme Concentartion .Substrate concentration
What enzyme helps produce ATP in light reaction?
In plants and algae, the enzyme RUBISCO helps with photosynthesis.
