Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "The apparent value of KM increases with a competitive inhibitor, while it remains unchanged with a noncompetitive inhibitor".

Explanation:

The KM value in an enzymatic reaction is defined as the substrate concentration at which the half of the enzyme molecules are binding with the substrate. A way to distinguish between a competitive and noncompetitive inhibition is that the apparent value of KM increases with a competitive inhibitor, while it remains unchanged with a noncompetitive inhibitor. A competitive inhibitor would make that a higher concentration of substrate is needed, while a noncompetitive inhibitor does not change KM since the inhibitor binds to a site of the enzyme different from the active site.

Which type of gene therapy results in alteration of the DNA of a gamete or a fertilized ovum?

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The correct option is: e. Germline gene therapy

Explanation:

The germline gene therapy, GGT is the modification of the germ cells. In this therapy, a functional gene is introduced into the genomes of the gametes. Such a modification of the germ cell results in all the cells of the organisms to get modified. This change can therefore be passed on to the next generations. Many countries such as Canada, Germany and Switzerland, have prohibited the use of the germline gene therapy on humans.

Earth is the largest terrestrial planet in the solar system. Earth's huge size enables it to exert enough gravitational force to

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Lower gravitational force due to lower mass.

Explanation:

Mars has lower gravitational force than Earth because of its lower size because mass has a direct effect on gravitational force of an object. Earth has mass of 5.972 × 10^24 kg which is 10 times greater than mass of Mars which is 6.4171 x 10^23 kg. So due to earth's more mass, it has more gravitational force than planet Mars which has lower mass than earth.

Which fat has only single bonds between the carbon atoms in the fatty acid?

mote1985 [20]

Saturated fatty acids are those that have all single bonds except for the keto carbon of the carboxylic group. Unsaturated fatty acids are those that at least have one double bond between the carbons. If the fatty acid has only one double bond, it is referred to as monounsaturated.

Are involuntary muscles striated?

alukav5142 [94]

No.The involuntary muscles of the muscular system are not striated or furrowed.


These muscles that are not striated are very smooth to the sight which is why they are also called Smooth muscles. Involuntary muscles are not striated. Even among the striated muscles that are voluntary, the heart which is also a muscle, is involuntary.
On the other hand the striated muscles, which are voluntary are highly fibrous and their primary function is to move the body voluntarily, and producing heat as a result of this muscle action.
