Martin is studying sucrase activity. He added sucrose solution + sucrase solution + buffer of pH 5.6 in two tubes. He incubated

them at 350C and 1000C respectively. When he performed a confirmatory test, only the first test tube showed enzyme activity. How would you justify the inactivity of the enzyme in the second test tube?
The enzymes in the second test tube must have denatured at pH 5.6, since most enzymes work at neutral pH.



The enzymes in the second test tube must have denatured at 1000C, since most enzymes degrade at such high temperatures.



Enzymes must have remained dormant at 1000C, since most of the enzymes remain inactive at such higher temperatures.

Answer:

The correct answer is "The enzymes in the second test tube must have denatured at 1000C, since most enzymes degrade at such high temperatures".

Explanation:

Most enzymes are purified or produced from amino acid sequences found in nature. Since most organisms live in mild temperature conditions, enzymes are active under mild temperature conditions. This is the case of sucrase, which has activity at 35 celsius but at 100 celsius would not have activity as a result of temperature denaturation. This explains why the second test tube shows no enzyme activity, sucrase would must have denatured at 100 celsius.

<span>B, enzymes will denature at that temperature. Sucrase has an optimal temperature of about 37 degrees celsius so 1000 would definitely be too high for them to work.</span>

DNA polymerases are capable of editing and error correction, whereas the capacity for error correction in RNA polymerases appear
Taya2010 [7]

Explanation:

DNA polymerase replicates the DNA supplied to all new cells produced while RNA polymerase drives DNA copy RNA synthesis. Unless corrected, error in DNA replication could result in the transmission of the error DNA to all next-generation cells.

Protein synthesis error will cause faulty copies of RNA and degraded proteins. To order to ensure the transfer of key genetic information to future generations of cells, failure to DNA replication must be corrected.

Which of the following statements is true?
ziro4ka [17]
Lipids contain more energy that carbohydrates because they contain more carbon to hydrogen bonds to release energy when broken.

<span>A macromolecule is a large molecule. There are four groups of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.
