Yes, a candy Bar is a complex carbohydrate. It is made of different processed food and chemicals which are not natural, so it therefore makes it a complex carbohydrate. :)

Histidine can act as a versatile amino acid in enzyme active sites because of its ability to donate and accept protons over a wide pH range. This allows histidine to participate in various catalytic mechanisms, making it a common residue in enzyme active sites. Additionally, the imidazole side chain of histidine can form hydrogen bonds and coordinate with metal ions, further enhancing its role in enzyme catalysis.

Primase is an enzyme. It is used to synthesize a short RNA fragment called a primer during DNA replication.

No, Nova-6 is entirely fictional, no known substance has lethal effects of that kind, and with that speed, and most likely no substance can ever exist with that lethality.

that is still not clear, and it is one of the reasons scientist have worked so hard to learn the DNA sequence for chromosome 21. Now researchers know all of the genes on the chromosome, they can begin experiments to find the exact genes that cause problems when present in three copies.

eukaryotic cells. It involves unwinding the DNA double helix, copying each strand, and synthesizing new complementary strands using nucleotides. The process ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the genetic material.

Competitive inhibitors can increase the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) by competing with the substrate for binding to the enzyme's active site. This competition reduces the enzyme's affinity for the substrate, leading to a higher Km value.

Decreased incubation temperature would likely decrease pepsin activity because enzymes generally have optimal temperature ranges for activity, and lower temperatures can slow down enzyme reactions. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that functions optimally at around body temperature (37°C), so decreasing the temperature may reduce its efficiency in breaking down proteins.

• Best example of positive feedback is the release of oxytocin during childbirth. Oxytocin is a reproductive hormone in females. Though it is also secreted in males, its function is yet unclear. Secretion of oxytocin occurs in response to nervous stimulation of the hypothalamus. It stimulates and enhances labor contractions. During the movement of the baby towards the birth canal, messages from pressure receptors within the cervix reach the brain to produce oxytocin. Released oxytocin travels to the uterus through the bloodstream and stimulates the uterine wall muscles to contract stronger. These contractions intensify gradually and increase until the baby comes out of the birth canal.
• Labor contractions are stopped when the stimulus to the pressure receptors ends and when oxytocin production stops in turn. Another means of oxytocin release is during lactation where the nipple sends impulses to the hypothalamus upon suckling, leading to contraction of the myoepithelial cells and expulsion of milk under positive feedback control.

Hormones circulate through the endocrine system in the body. They are released by endocrine glands into the bloodstream, which serves as the delivery system to target organs and tissues throughout the body.

It depends on how much energy you are putting into the tar such as 100 degrees Celsius. Look up the specific heat of tar and its chemical composition

No, stomach acid is not an enzyme. Stomach acid primarily consists of hydrochloric acid and helps to break down food and kill bacteria in the stomach. Enzymes are proteins that facilitate chemical reactions in the body, while stomach acid aids in digestion by creating an optimal environment for enzymes to work.

i think it is because diffusion that water gets into the cells of few organisms. The specific type of transport used is osmosis. Diffusion is the net movement of substances typically from a rgion of high concentration to low concentration. This process does not require energy. Osmosis is diffusion but is specific to water.

Is this a statement or a question? I have no idea what you are asking. Are you needing the the names of these pathways, enzymes, or substrates? Pathways: Animals * Glycolysis * Kreb's Cycle * Electron Transport Chain * Oxidative Phosphorylation (ATP Synthase) Plants * Calvin Cycle Enzymes: * Too many to name or be more specific Substrates: * Also too many to name unless you are talking about a specific pathway If you are asking which enzymes occur in both aerobic respiration and photosynthesis: * Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase * Phosphoglycerate kinase * Triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) * Aldolase

Lactase enzyme is present in infants but can decrease in activity as they grow into adulthood, leading to lactose intolerance in some individuals.

• The small subunit of the ribosome binds to a site "upstream" (on the 5' side) of the start of the message.
• It proceeds downstream (5' -> 3') until it encounters the start codon AUG. (The region between the mRNA cap and the AUG is known as the 5'-untranslated region [5'-UTR].)
• Here it is joined by the large subunit and a special initiator tRNA.
• The initiator tRNA binds to the P site (shown in pink) on the ribosome.
• In eukaryotes, initiator tRNA carries methionine (Met). (Bacteria use a modified methionine designated fMet.)

The two transport systems in a tree are the xylem and phloem. The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while the phloem transports sugars produced through photosynthesis to other parts of the tree.

The basic building blocks of organic compounds are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and a few other elements like sulfur and phosphorus. These elements combine in various ways to form the diverse range of organic molecules found in living organisms. Carbon is especially important because of its ability to form long chains and complex structures.

They are called fats {not quite the same as a fatty acid} - and they are from animal origins. They are saturated - in space they are straight like a tooth pick [and they stack pretty much like a box of tooth picks]. When C=C double bonds are included, the Lipid becomes unsaturated which gives the lipid a 'dogs leg' bend - called Oils, they do not then conform into a solid as easily as they did when they were saturated {and are liquid at room temperature}.

The water's temperature is the number one factor that determines the types of organisms that can live in a body of water. Organisms are adapted to specific temperature ranges, so water temperature directly influences the diversity and distribution of aquatic life.

To determine the number of amino acids in your protein, you can use the average molecular weight of an amino acid which is about 110 Da (Daltons). By dividing the molecular weight of your protein (8.9 kD or 8900 Da) by the average weight of an amino acid (110 Da), you can estimate that your protein contains approximately 81 amino acids.

Hormone levels are regulated through a feedback system involving the endocrine glands. When the body detects a need for a particular hormone, such as in response to stress or low blood sugar, signals are sent to the endocrine glands to release the hormone. Once the hormone reaches the desired level, signals are sent to stop its production, maintaining balance in the body.

During Glycolysis, ATP is used as an intermediate. ATP is cleaved and turned into ADP during the first part of glycolysis, giving one of its phosphate groups to glucose. In the ending steps of glycolysis, ATP is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation.
