Enzymes are proteins (except ribozymes which are RNA). They have specific 3D structures with active sites. They catalyze biological reactions. Denatured by heat or extreme pH.
Explanation:
Combined gas law combines Boyle's, Charles', and Gay-Lussac's laws for a fixed mass of gas. It relates P, V, T when all change. PV=nRT is ideal gas equation for n moles.
Explanation:
Autocatalysis occurs when one of the products of a chemical reaction acts as a catalyst for that same reaction. As the reaction proceeds and the product accumulates, the rate of the reaction increases. A classic example is the oxidation of oxalic acid by potassium permanganate, where the Mn2+ ions produced catalyze the reaction.
Explanation:
Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is a synthetic detergent (surfactant) used in shampoos and toothpaste. Soap is a natural detergent from fats/oils. Starch and cellulose are natural polymers, not detergents. SLS has a sulfate group and works well in hard water.
