A few enzymes exhibit absolute specificity; that is, they will catalyze only one particular reaction. Other enzymes will be specific for a particular type of chemical bond or functional group. In general, there are four distinct types of specificity: Absolute specificity - the enzyme will catalyze only one reaction.

Hey there,

Your question states: What component of enzyme structure is responsible for enzyme specificity?

Based on my understanding of your question, your correct answer would be Substrates.Substrates are responsible for enzyme specificity. They do play an important role in the enzyme. There are species that basically observe a chemical reaction.

Your correct answer is $\boxed{Substrates}$

Hope this helps.

Why do cells don't just continue to grow larger as organisms grow larger. why do cells divide

mart [117]

Because an organism needs even more cells to help it function better and change as it grows (like metamorphosis and yes, puberty :p) and if the same amount of cells stay then the organism's cells will be functioning and working harder.....so cells divide so many different ones can continue to work on different parts of the organism as it grows and changes. Plus it'd be weird if we only had like 1 thousand cells in our body from mothers' pregnancy the size of hi-polymer erasers (the big ones)..........

When Dr. Jeff jumps on a skateboard and uses the fire extinguisher to move, which of these does he change to move BACK to where

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is C) direction of force

Explanation:

In the terms of physics, force can be described as a push or pull on an object which allows the object to either move forward or backwards or in other directions.

When Dr. Jeff uses the fire extinguisher of the skateboard to move forward, he will require the same force to move backward but in the opposite direction. Hence, for moving backwards, the only thing required by Dr. Jeff to move backwards will be the direction of the force.

Scientists have evidence that the Antarctic Bottom Water is becoming fresher and warmer. What are two changes that could happen

alexgriva [62]

This would be because of the melting of icebergs, ice is made of fresh water, that means the water increases in freshness because of the increasing amount of ice melting. It is getting warmer most likely because of global warming, which also contributes to the melting of glaciers

Suppose that a leaf disk that has had the air sucked out is placed in bicarbonate solution under a dim light that results in a l

saul85 [17]

The answer is; NO

This is because the leaf would not have tiny oxygen bubbles spread across its base (because the base is where most stomata are) that would help it float on the water. The reason is that the oxygen produced in the process of photosynthesis would be consumed in respiration because the rates of the two biochemical processes are the same.
