Reactants capable of interacting to form products in a chemical reaction must first overcome a thermodynamic barrier known as the reaction's:
a. entropyb. activation energyc. endothermic leveld. equilibrium pointe. free-energy content

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning. (2 points)

What is true of all organisms in the kingdoms protista, plantae, fungi, and animalia? a. they are multi-celled. b. they are photosynthetic. c. they have cells that contain membrane-bound organelles. d. they contain cells that lack membrane-bound organelles.

All of the following statements about enzymes are correct except: proteolytic enzymes are also known as proteases. pectin methyl esterase causes browning of cut fruit. cloud loss in orange juice is due to enzyme activity. proteolytic enzymes in fish cause tissue softening during storage.
