The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.
The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.
And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization
<em>Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied</em> <em>Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by</em> <em>strong intermolecular bonds</em>, <em>but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore,</em> <em>there are different measurements of hardness</em>: <em>scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.</em>
Answer:
a swell consists of wind-generated waves that are not greatly affected by the local wind at that time.
Explanation:
Answer:
There is no image showing the shape of an enzyme, however, the question can still be answered based on basic understanding. The answers are;
- Less binding of substrate
- won't follow the lock-and-key pattern of enzyme binding
Explanation:
An enzyme is a biological catalyst that regulates the rate of chemical reactions in living systems. Enzymes are proteinous in nature and every protein is made up of an amino acid sequence. The amino acid sequence forms a three-dimensional shape that determines the functionality of the enzyme.
Enzymes catalyze reactions by binding to their substrates in a lock and key pattern. This makes enzymes substrate-specific. If the enzyme's normal shape changes, the following will occur:
- Less binding of substrate
- won't follow the lock-and-key pattern of enzyme binding.
