Name the flattened cells that fit together like tiles?
Squamous epithelium look like flattened cells that fit together like tiles.
Which statement describes the currently accepted theory of how an enzyme and its substrate fit together?
There is an enzyme explanation whose specificity states that an enzyme and its substrate possess specific complementary geometric shapes that fit exactly into one another. This is the lock and key explanation.Ê
How are substrates like keys and enzymes like locks?
Enzymes have an active site that is specific for a substrate - therefore enzymes only work when the right substrate is present. The surfaces of the enzyme and the substrate fit together - like a lock and key - allowing the enzyme to fulfil its function. The theory of "induced fit" is more widely accepted - it is similar, but the enzyme shape changes to accommodate the substrate.
Name the flattened cells important in protection that fit together like tiles?
Epithelial cells
What is a binding site and why does it have a specific shape?
A binding site is the outer part of the protein that is folded into a unique shape. It has to have this certain shape, otherwise the enzyme and substrate will not fit together. This is called a "lock and key" mechanism.
To fit or lock together?
Interlock
What is the difference between hydrophilic and Hydro phobic?
Hydrophilic substances incline to get together with polar substances like water or some ions while hydrophobic substances tend to get together with nonpolar substances like organic compounds. You can understand these identities by imagining that the more two substances are likely in polarity, the eaiser they get together, because they are fit in electic charges so that the energy of the mixture system is lower. Though this theory is rough, hope it can help you underdstand the the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic.
Do enzymes change shape to move substances across the plasma membrane?
Enzymes and the substrates they work on fit like a lock and key, if you change the shape of the key, the lock won't open. An enzyme whose shape changes is no longer able to activate the reaction of the substrate.
How do tectonic plates fit together?
Thay fit together like a jigsaw puzzle
Name the flattened cells that fit together like tiles?
Squamous epithelium look like flattened cells that fit together like tiles.
What is the difference between the lock and key model versus the induced fit model of the enzyme substrate complex?
The lock and key model means that the substrate must perfectly fit the enzyme, and the enzyme does not change. The induced fit model is different as when the substrate fits together with the enzyme, the enzyme itself will change to either join substrates together or break a substrate down.
What hypothesis by alfred wegener explains why contients seem to fit together?
They all fit together like a puzzle.
Were do most continents fit together the best?
A map of the continents (with the exclusion of Antarctica and the inclusion of Greenland) is included in the link below and depicts how they would fit together today. They do not completely lock perfectly as their coasts have been eroded.
Which statement describes the currently accepted theory of how an enzyme and its substrate fit together?

Plates in the earth fit together like?
Puzzle pieces.
How do regions of the US work together?
because when you cut the up the will fit together like a puzzle.
Which shapes fit together easily?
Equilateral triangles, squares, and regular hexagons(each fit together on its own/by itself)These are the only shapes that fit together on their ownYou can also make combinations like :octagons and squareshexagons and triangles
