The answer is catalysts. Catalysts speed up the rate of a reaction without getting consumed in the process. Catalysts, in this case, enzymes act by reducing the activation energy or changing the reaction mechanism (such as foregoing some transition states). A popular enzyme is a carbonic anhydrase that catalyzes the formation of carbonic acid in the blood plasma (from carbon dioxide and water), a critical function in regulating blood pH.

Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for biological reactions.

Enzymes work specifically to speed up the rate of the chemical reactions that occur inside a cell. They are needed for vital life functions. They aid in digestion and metabolism, They are so important that if one enzyme is missing or defective, the effects would be devastating.

To test the quality of water sources in her area, Shameka collects five samples from each water source and tests the quality of

Neporo4naja [7]

Of the steps included in the scientific method, Shameka is performing step five, which is to test your hypothesis by performing an experiment.

The scientific method is the globally accepted process by which to make scientific claims. This method includes seven steps which are:

Ask a question
Do research
Create a hypothesis
Design an experiment to test the hypothesis
Perform the experiment
Study the results and make a conclusion
Communicate the results to your peers.

The question states that Shameka is gathering samples from nearby water sources, therefore she is in the process of testing her hypothesis through experimentation, which corresponds to step 5 of the scientific design.

Cells pass through a G2 checkpoint before entering mitosis. Ideally, if DNA damage is 2 detected, the cells do not enter mitosis

galina1969 [7]

I think that the answer is D. The cell employs the G2 checkpoint to check for DNA damage and completeness of DNA replication. This is done to ensure that cell division runs smoothly which means that healthy daughter cells, with complete and undamaged DNA, will be produced. At this point, all necessary repairs are applied.

Explain how ligand A and ligand B can cause identical cellular responses in a cell?

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Ligand A and ligand B can cause same cellular responses in a cell when they are attached to different receptors.

Explanation:

If two same ligands are attached to two different receptors, two different responses will occurs. Such type of response is present in acetylcholine, while when two different ligands attached to two different receptors, same response will occur. This type of response is present in glucagon and epinephrine etc. ligands are responsible for controlling the transcription process when it binds or attached to the DNA molecule of the cell.
