Answer:
Two possible compounds are shown below- one with an exocyclic double bond and another one with an endocyclic double bond
Explanation:
Reaction of alkene with gives a complex of mercurous ion.
Then water molecule attacks this complex through type reaction at more substituted position.
cleaves the resultant C-Hg bond and forms a C-H bond.
Two possible structures of an alkene is possible to yield 1-methylcyclohexanol which are shown below.
Answer:
Adding more substrate would overcome the effect of the compound
Explanation:
- Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. They act on specific substrate to convert them to products.
- Compounds known as inhibitors slow down the rate of enzyme activity.
- Inhibitors are classified as competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
- Competitive inhibitors will compete with the substrate to bind the active sites on the enzyme. The effect of competitive inhibitors may be reduced by increasing the concentration of the substrate.
- The compound added by the biologist was a competitive inhibitor and therefore adding more substrate would overcome its effect on enzyme catalysis
- Non-competitive inhibitors binds the active site of the enzyme permanently and prevents the substrate from accessing the active sites.
