Hydrolytic enzymes are active inside a lysosome. Which statement correctly classifies the lysosome and explains its benefit?
Which scientific advance most directly enabled the study of individual organelle function?
…
An enzyme edits each mRNA as soon as transcription ends, changing an early stop codon to an amino acid codon. A eukaryotic and a prokaryotic cell express the gene and enzyme.
Which
…
Enzyme amounts were equal. E1: S→X; E2: X→P; D degrades X. Membranes pass S and P only. What explains yields?
| Arrangement | E1 location | E2 location | D location | P yield / % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P | cytosol | cytosol | cytosol | 12 |
| Q | organelle | organelle | cytosol | 76 |
| R | organelle | cytosol | cytosol | 4 |
