A biologist working in a lab adds a compound to a solution that contains an enzyme and substrate. This particular compound binds
reversibly to the enzyme at the active site. Once the compound is bound to the enzyme, the catalysis of substrate to product stops. Which of the statements is true of the compound? a. The compound is a catalyst for the reaction. b. The effect of the compound cannot be overcome by adding more substrate. c. The compound is an allosteric inhibitor. d. The effect of the compound can be overcome by adding more substrate. e. The compound is an allosteric activator.
The correct answer is C) The compound is an allosteric inhibitor.
Explanation:
An inhibitor works in many ways, but this particular one binds to the allosteric site in the enzyme causing a decrease of the enzymatic activity. When this situation happens, the inhibitor doesn't bind to the active site, but it changes the enzyme's shape so it cannot work properly anymore.
At the bottom you have the producers aka auto trophic livings (which use inorganic compounds to grow, produce energy, matter and so on..). These organisms would be plants, Cyrano bacteria, over all any organisms that do photosynthesis.
Radiometric dating for the analysis of isotopes in the fossil.
Explanation:
Radiometric dating can be used to determine the precise age of a fossil by measuring isotoped decay within tge fossil or the surrounding rock in contact with it.
