What is the deffinision of sessile?
Sessile means attached. So a sessile organism is attached to a substrate.
Substrate is a synonym for?
A substrate is a surface or substance in which an organism can attach itself to support its growth. A synonym for substrate is substratum.
What is meant by the word substrate?
Substrate has several meanings. One definition is the base on which something lives or is attached. For example the ocean floor is a substrate to many living things including kelp.
What does producing a substrate means?
it means that it is prouducing
Why do sponges stay only in one spot?
Sponges only stay in one spot because they are sessile. Sessile means that they are attached to a substrate and cannot move. Hope this helps!
What is attached to each annelid segment are bristles called?
Setae are attached to each annelid segment. These bristles provide traction for movement and help anchor the worm in the substrate.
Is a slug a sponge?
No. Sponges are the simplest animals and they are aquatic and sessile (attached to a substrate). A slug is in the Phylum Mollusca in the Class Gastropoda.
What is a word that means attached at a base?
"Adjoined" is a word that means attached at a base.
True or False Low Km means that an enzyme binds very loosely to a substrate andd consequently results in a high velocity compared to an enzyme with a high Km?
False. Low Km actually indicates a strong binding of the enzyme to the substrate, resulting in a high affinity and low velocity at low substrate concentrations. High Km means a weak binding of the enzyme to the substrate and requires higher substrate concentrations for the enzyme to achieve maximum velocity.
What is a substrate in the context of enzyme reaction?
Enzyme-substrate specificity means that a substrate can fit into an enzyme similar to a key fitting into a lock. The active site of the enzyme is what determines its specificity. An enzyme can hence catalyze a reaction with a specific substrate, such as amylase catalyzing starch molecules. During these reactions, the substrate is held in a precise optimum position to create and break bonds, catalyzing the molecule.
Is it necessary for a cell to produce one enzyme molecule for every substrate molecule that's needs to be catalyzed?
No and, by all means, no. For each and every substrate there are enzymatically (repeatedly) produced products.
What crustacean glues its head to something for life?
When they are adults, barnacles live attached headfirst to the substrate (rocks, wood, etc.) and stay in that spot for the rest of their lives.
