Biology Enzymes IA Design Introduction: Enzymes are globular proteins‚ they are responsible for most of the chemical activities of a living organism. They act as catalysts‚ substances that affects the reaction of other substances without being destroyed or altered during the process. They are extremely efficient in the body system of living organisms‚ one enzyme may catalyse over a thousand chemical reactions every second. But there are certain conditions that need to be fulfilled in order for the

Math SL Investigation Type 2 Stellar Numbers This is an investigation about stellar numbers‚ it involves geometric shapes which form special number patterns. The simplest of these is that of the square numbers (1‚ 4‚ 9‚ 16‚ 25 etc…) The diagram below shows the stellar triangular numbers until the 6th triangle. The next three numbers after T5 would be: 21‚ 28‚ and 36. A general statement for nth triangular numbers in terms of n is: The 6-stellar star‚ where there are 6 vertices‚ has
