Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a type of cancer that is caused by a specific chromosomal alteration that leads to the ina

ppropriate expression of a kinase called Abl. Kinases are enzymes that put phosphate groups onto macromolecules such as proteins. A drug used to treat CML, imatinib, binds to the active site of Abl kinase. Why does this drug work to treat this type of cancer?
A) By binding to the active site, the drug decreases the activation energy for the reaction driven by Abl kinase.
B) By binding to the active site, the drug prevents the ability of Abl kinase to bind to its substrate.
C) By binding to the active site, the drug allows for a better induced fit between Abl kinase and its substrate.
D) By binding to the active site, the drug increases the amount of free energy released from the reaction driven by Abl kinase.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

"Autonomic nervous system" is similar to the autopilot of the airplane

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system is a portion of the govern system which regulates the metabolic or the physiological processes of the human being. Inside the brain the autonomic nervous system is controlled by the hypothalamus. On the other hand the autopilot of the airplane is the combination of the system that are required for the automatic operation of the plane. Hence, both the things are similar but works for different process.

Maru [420]

Protista are unicellular organisms that do have a nucleus. They can reproduce both sexually and asexually. They live in moist environments.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Kingdom Protista consists of the organisms that are unicellular or pseudo multicellular and they are eukaryotic in nature.

The classes under Protista consists of Chrysophytes, Dinoflagellates, Slime moulds, Euglenoids and protozoans. These organisms are all unicellular. They are all the eukaryotic organisms. Euglenoids are photosynthetic where the protozoans are consumers and Slime moulds are saprophytic. They prefer to live in water or moist lands. These organisms can reproduce both asexually or sexually.
