Some human diseases cause a malfunction in protein phosphatases. describe a protein phosphatase and its role in cell signaling, and then explain how a malfunction in this type of protein would affect signaling pathways.

Protein phosphates have the opposite effect as protein kinases. They dephosphorylate proteins. An example is the  Protein phosphatase 1 that is significant to transcription regulation in the cell nucleus.  If Protein phosphatases are not working, the cells would be unable to respond to environmental stimuli and would die.

rising sea temps which are causing coral reefs to bleach and die out

glaciers are melting causing sea levels to rise wgich could flood out land

explanation:

enzyme active site and substrate specificity

enzymes bind with chemical reactants called substrates. there may be one or more substrates for each type of enzyme, depending on the particular chemical reaction. in some reactions, a single-reactant substrate is broken down into multiple products
