DNA polymerases attach the free nucleotides and also proofread for mismatched pairs and replace them with the correct pair.

The host organism into which a cloning vector is placed is called?

The host organism into which a cloning vector is placed is called a "host cell." This host cell provides the necessary cellular machinery for replicating the cloning vector and expressing the inserted DNA.


What happen to enzyme when it is placed with a concentrated acid?

Enzymes work well in pH 7. So when an enzyme is placed with a concentrated acid its ability to break down food molecules will be increased, thus breaking down the food better. This acid is produced by the stomach and is later neutralised by bile and made into an alkaline to be passed onto the smaller intestine, as it works best in alkaline conditions.


When enzymes are placed in extreme pH or temperature conditions they unwind and change shape This is called what?

This process is called denaturation. Denaturation occurs when the secondary or tertiary structure of a protein, like an enzyme, is disrupted by extreme pH or temperature, leading to loss of function.


What is the process by which DNA is used as a template to make more DNA?

The double strand is separated by an enzyme called helicase. A primer is placed at the 3' end of the template strand. DNA Polymerase III (another enzyme) then adds new nucleotides to the primer, in the 5'-3' direction. The primers are replaced with DNA nucleotides by DNA Polymerase I and joined together by ligase. This is how DNA is replicated.


What happens when an enzyme is heated or placed in acid?

Heating an enzyme can denature it, disrupting its active site and causing it to lose its catalytic function. Placing an enzyme in acid can also disrupt its structure and alter its pH environment, affecting its ability to interact with substrates and slowing down the catalytic reaction. Ultimately, both scenarios can lead to the inactivation of the enzyme.

What will most likely happen to an enzyme if it is placed in an environment that is too acidic or too basic?

If an enzyme is placed in an environment that is too acidic or too basic, its structure can be denatured, which means its active site will change shape and it will no longer be able to catalyze reactions effectively. This will decrease or even stop its enzymatic activity.

What happens to an enzyme when it is placed in an acid solution?

Acids, especially strong acids, dissociate in water solutions to give off H+ ions. These H+ ions are also involved with polar bonding, R-group reactions between amino acids, and hydrophobic/hydrophilic reactions. More of these H+ ions will start bonding to different parts of the enzyme and start pulling it apart, denaturing it. Any addition of an acidic or basic solution which lowers pH by 0.5 or more will cause the enzyme to start denaturing.
