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

How Can Sex-Linked Traits Be Identified
kkurt [141]

If a gene is found only on the X chromosome and not the Y chromosome, it is said to be a sex-linked trait. Because the gene controlling the trait is located on the sex chromosome, sex linkage is linked to the gender of the individual. Usually such genes are found on the X chromosome. The Y chromosome is thus missing such genes (See Diagram above.). The result is that females will have two copies of the sex-linked gene while males will only have one copy of this gene. If the gene is recessive, then males only need one such recessive gene to have a sex-linked trait rather than the customary two recessive genes for traits that are not sex-linked. This is why males exhibit some traits more frequently than females.

Red-green colorblindness

Male Pattern Baldness

Hemophilia
