In the presence of a non-competitive inhibitor a Lineweaver-Burk plot has a higher y-intercept than a control (without any inhib

itor), and the x intercept is the same as that for the control. Explain what this indicates.

Answer:

The Lineweaver- Burk plot is representation of Lineweaver-Burk equation of enzyme kinetics in graphical plot that is presented by the Hans Lineweaver and Dean Burk.

In the presence of a non competitive inhibitor shows higher y-intercept than a control in absence of any inhibitor whereas the x intercept is the same as the control that suggests or tells that maximum enzyme activity of the reaction is decreased, Higher Y intercept than controls means that it is same as 1/Vmax. The X intercept indicates that there is no effect on Km of the enzyme reaction.

What process would be directly affected if all of a cells ribosomes were weakened
NemiM [27]
Ribosomes<span> are usually found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, but can also be found throughout the cytoplasm.</span>The job of the ribosome is to make new proteins. If all of a cells ribosomes were weakened, the cell would be unable to make new proteins.

Which one of the following statements holds true for the induced-fit model?
Andrews [41]
The correct answer is...Once the enzyme binds to the specific substrate molecule, subtle structure changes occur in the active site, which are reverted when the reaction is over.

Hope this helps:)

If a muscle fiber were to suddenly and permanently stop producing ATP the fiber would no longer be able to actively transport ca
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

A. Calcium would be transported to the sarcoplasmic reticulum therefore contractions would cease.

Explanation:

A muscle fibre will stop contraction immediately ATP is used up. Also, muscle contraction will end as soon as the information from the motor neuron stops. This repolarizes the sarcolemma and T-tubules, thereby closing the voltage-gated calcium channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium ions are then pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, in order for tropomyosin to cover the binding sites on the actin strands again.

Which statement BEST describes the relationship between adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)? A. With an
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The correct answer would be  C. With an input of energy, ADP combines with a phosphate group to become ATP.

Inorganic phosphorus and energy are added to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in order to convert it to adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

This reaction is usually catalyze by the enzyme ATP synthase. It present in inner membrane of mitochondria of the cell as well as in the thyllakoid membrane in chloroplast.

ATP synthase uses the energy provided by chemiosmosis i.e. flow of protons down the gradient across the membrane through this enzyme. Proton gradient is formed either by photosynthesis or by cellular respiration.

ADP + inorganic phosphate (Pi) + energy → ATP + H₂O

ATP is used as the energy currency of the cell which breaks down to release inorganic phosphate group and energy which is used in various metabolic processes.
