A molecule that closely resembles the shape of a substrate and therefore also fits into the active site of an enzyme might serve

as an ________
Chemistry

Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago

Answer: inhibitor

Explanation:

Enzymes have a shape that closely resemble that of the substrate hence they fit into the substrate by lock and key mechanism. The activity of the enzyme hinges on its similarity with the substrate in shape. Any other molecule similar to the shape of the substrate can fit into the substrate thereby preventing the enzyme from locking with the substrate. Such substances are called inhibitors. They decrease the activity of an enzyme.

11. How did the solubility product constant Ksp of KHT in pure water compare to its solubility product constant Ksp of KHT in KC
Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

KHT is a salt which ionises in water as follows

KHT ⇄ K⁺ + HT⁻

Solubility product Kw= [ K⁺ ] [ HT⁻ ]

product of concentration of K⁺ and HT⁻ in water

In KCl solution , the solubility product of KHT will be decreased .

In KCl solution , there is already presence of K⁺  ion in the solution . So

in the equation  

[ K⁺ ] [ HT⁻ ]  = constant

when K⁺ increases [ HT⁻ ] decreases . Hence less of KHT dissociates due to which its  solubility decreases . It is called common ion effect . It is so because here the presence of common ion that is K⁺ in both salt to be dissolved and in solvent , results in decrease of solubility of the salt .

The world's record in the 100 m dash is 9.69 seconds and in the 100 yard dash is 9.21 seconds.
Andrews [41]
Speed is equivalent to the distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that certain distance. 
To solve this problem convert the units first from meter and yards to miles. 100 metes is 0.0621371mi and 100 yards is 0.0568182 yard. 9.69s = 0.002691667 hr and 9.21s = 0.002558333

A.) 23mi/hr
B.) 22.20mi/hr

Compare the shape of a chemical signalling molecule and a receptor.
Andru [333]

Cell signalling is a process by which cells communicate with each other and transfer messages.

<h3>What is a receptor?</h3>

A molecule inside or on the surface of a cell binds to a specific substance and causes a specific effect in the cell.

Cell signalling is a process by which cells communicate with each other and transfer messages. When a signal molecule binds to a receptor protein, changes occur in the receptor proteins. Two changes are listed below:

1. The receptor protein undergoes conformational changes and acts as an enzyme.

2. The receptor protein that makes a second messenger molecule that leads the reaction further to other cells or molecules.

Which activity requires a new pair of gloves?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Even without specifics, my answer would be all of them.

Explanation:

Technically, you need a new pair of gloves after every experiment, which is what my science teacher taught me, so all of them.
