Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an enzyme that aids in the decomposition of ethyl alcohol (CH3OH) into nontoxic substances. Methy

l alcohol acts as a competitive inhibitor of ethyl alcohol by competing for the same active site on ADH. When attached to ADH, methyl alcohol is converted to formaldehyde, which is toxic in the body.
Which of the following statements best predicts the effect of increasing the concentration of substrate (ethyl alcohol), while keeping the concentration of the inhibitor (methyl alcohol) constant?

a. There will be an increase in formaldehyde because ADH activity increases.
b. Competitive inhibition will be terminated because ethyl alcohol will bind to methyl alcohol and decrease ADH activity.
c. The peptide bonds in the active site of the enzyme will be denatured, inhibiting the enzyme.
d. Competitive inhibition will decrease because the proportion of the active sites occupied by substrate will increase.

Answer:

d. Competitive inhibition will decrease because the proportion of the active sites occupied by substrate will increase.

Explanation:

Enzymes are bio catalysts in living cells responsible for aiding biochemical reactions.

Their active sites are primary protein  3D structure  for binding with substrates during   reactions.

Enzymes reactions are usually affected by inhibitors(e.g methyl alcohol) which compete with the active site with the actual substrate(ethyl alcohol) ,

This is an example of competitive inhibition. The more ethyl alcohol available, the more active sites  occupied, therefore denying the inhibitor methylalchol  chances to the active site, thus preventing the formation of toxic formaldehyde, and more of non toxic substances from formation of more ADH-METHYL ALCOHOL COMPLEXES at the active sites

Mason drew the cladogram shown. Which statements best describes the cladogram? Select three options. (HURRY I WILL MARK BRAINLIE
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: Correct options B, D and E.

Explanation:

In the cladogram, we can see that in the first branch we have a division, one branch goes to fish and the other goes to a division (a division means a common ancestor)

Then the fish are the most primitive (being directly related to the first ancestor)., E is true.

We also can see that between fish and birds we have 3 separations (the ancestor in common is 3 "generations" behind), and between frog and birds we have two separations (the common ancestor is 2 "generations" behind), so frogs are more closely related to birds than fish.

So D is also true.

We also can see that the only pair that has only one ancestor in common are birds and reptiles, so the ones that are most closely related are birds and reptiles. B is also true,

Describe 2 flowers that differ greatly
Ludmilka [50]
There are many examples you can choose from, but one great example, a venus fly trap, and a lotus, for example. The two examples given differ because they:
*provide themselves with different types of foods
*have a different system of reproducing, as well as growing
*and live in two different types of environments.
Also, remember, the fly trap is a carnivorous plant, while the lotus is not

Five dialysis bags constructed of membrane, which is permeable to water and impermeable to sucrose, were filled with various con
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The options

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. E

The CORRECT ANSWER IS D.

E.

Explanation:

It is a regular occurrence for dialysis bags or dialysis tubing to be employed in permitting smooth movement of molecules when having to do with a fluid. These bags are normally evaluated to ensure that the client has adequate amount in th bag so as to be able to achieve the goal at hand.

If we have five dialysis bags being formed from a semi-permeable membrane which is impermeable to sucrose, they may be saturated with different concentrations of the sucrose with each of these bags being positioned in different beakers that have an initial amount of 0.6 M of a sucrose solution.

At ten minute intervals, the bags were massed and the weight was calculated to look for changes in the level of concentration. In this situation, the bag with the lowest initial concentration of sucrose is be the one that has its mass reducing over time and that is E.

The attached image confirms our answer as from the graph, option E shows the lowest initial concentration of sucrose.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1- the purpose of blood flow-circulatory system- is to convey  Oxygenated blood, oxygen bonded with haemoglobin in the RBC with Nutrients - and distributed these through the arteries  and capillaries  away from the heart,  to reach the cells and tissues, and transported the wastes of theses cells and tissues , with C02 through the veins back to the heart and the kidney.

2. During diastole,deoxygented blood from the inferior and superior vena cavae entering the R.atrium, passes through the tricuspid valve into the Right Ventricle. Simultaneously, oxygenated blood returning through the pulmonary veins enters the left Atrium,emptied  through the bicuspid valve into the Left.Ventricle.

During systole, the two ventricles contracts. The Right ventricle contracts, the pressure of the blood forces  the tricuspid valve to close,and therefore de -oxygenated blood pushes the pulmonary  valves to open and blood passes through the pulmonary artery to reach the lungs where exchanges of oxygen with carbon dioxide occurs.The blood is now oxygenated and returns to the left atrium via pulmonary veins.

Simultaneously, the left ventricle contracts,the oxygenated blood it contains forced the bicuspid valve to close so that blood is  forced through the aortic valve  to empty into the aorta into  the systemic circulation,branches of the carotid artery supplies the heart from the aorta.

The Whole cycle continues.

5. A dedicated earth science student using
const2013 [10]

Answer:

(2) 988.5 mb.

Explanation:

The air pressure descends as we ascend. In other words, they are inversely proportional.

The air pressure descends as we ascend the mountain because the air molecules that are above us in high altitudes are fewer than the number of air molecules that are above us in the base of the mountain. So, the exerted pressure of the molecules on ourselves is lower in high altitudes.

Due to the reason mentioned above, we can deduce that the only correct option is option number two since the other ones show increasing or the same pressure, which is not possible as we ascend.
