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:

Methyl alcohol is a competitive inhibitor of ethyl alcohol. This means that both of them compete with each other for the same enzyme (ADH). Methyl alcohol leads to poisoning because it is converted to toxic formaldehyde in body. It can be treated by increasing the concentration of ethyl alcohol.

More ethyl alcohol (substrate) will reduce the competitive inhibition by methyl alcohol (inhibitor). This will happen because a substrate needs active sites on an enzyme to attach to it. If ethyl alcohol is increased in concentration, it will occupy more active sites and their availability to methyl alcohol will be reduced. Thus, the enzyme will not be able to act on methyl alcohol.

Ket [755]

Answer:

Yes...This is an example of speciation by natural selection

Explanation:

As we know that natural selection always promote those evolutionary changes that are necessary. Changes that happen in chromosome number always promote with a specie that is closely related to the parent specie and produce fertile off-springs. These new generations are most adaptable and can survive in the environment more efficiently than the previous ones.

Additionally, other than natural selection, speciation can also happen as a result of random mutations, genetic drift and by means of artificial selection as well. But the natural likelihood of all these is probably low as compared to that of natural selection.

Rama09 [41]

<u>Answer</u>: Thermal energy---->  a polar bear breaks down stored fat to increase its temperature.

Mechanical energy-------> bat emits and receives sounds to locate prey.

Electrical energy------>eel releases a current to defend itself.

Radiant energy -------->  a firefly produces a green glow from its abdomen to attract mates.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Thermal energy</em> is the energy created in the movement of particles that leads to the production of heat and thus, the temperature increases. Since the polar bears break down fat to increase temperature, the energy generated is thermal energy.  
  • The<em> mechanical energy</em> is defined as the sum of energy of motion and   the position of an object  . Thus the energy produced by the bat to locate its prey is mechanical energy.
  • The energy associated with the production of electromagnetic radiation is<em> radiant energy,</em> thus the glow produced by fireflies is a form of radiant energy.
  • The energy produced due to the movement of electrons is electrical energy. Thus, the energy produced by an eel in the form of electric current is <em>electrical energy.</em>
