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

brilliants [131]

The single celled protists which is one of the example of this is the paramecia survives and lives on extreme hypotonic environment. They have the ability of having to contract their vacuoles in which this contributes and help them to live and survive in a hypotonic environment.

Match each field of study to the correct piece of evidence. Tiles molecular biology comparative anatomy developmental biology Pa
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Molecular Biology
This field of study deals with everything related to macromolecules, thus, what you will need for molecular biology would be something you could get proteins and nucleic acids from. Among the choices, the DNA of a pig and a calf would be the most helpful.

Comparative Anatomy
Comparative anatomy is a field of study that focuses on any similarities or differences between the anatomy or structure of different animals or species in general. Among the options, having the limb structure of a pig and a calf would allow you to practice the field since you have a structure to compare.

Developmental Biology
In this field, your concern would be how species grow and develop. For you to properly observe the growth and development, you must have the embryo of a pig and a calf. Therefore, among the options, this is the correct piece of evidence for this field.

IN SUMMARY:
Molecular Biology - Both DNA of a pig and a calf
Comparative Anatomy - Both limb structure of a pig and a calf
Developmental Biology - Embryo of a pig and a calf

Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution
Vladimir [108]

Answer and explanation:

If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.

<u>The cell contains a </u><u>more concentrated solution</u><u> than the solution in the container</u>. The difference in concentration would produce an <em>osmotic gradient</em> that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.

In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.
