Answer:
a) true
b) false
c) true
d) false
e) false
Explanation:
hi im taking ap biology and it's not my best subject but here r my reasonings:
a) inhibitors decrease the rate of reactions in general, so i would assume that increasing the number of inhibitors would decrease the overall rate or reaction
b) it's false bc allosteric inhibitors bind to a place on the enzyme other than the active site. u can see on the figures that the blue-green allosteric inhibitor is in a place other than the active site at the top
c) because allosteric inhibitors bind to a different place on the enzyme, this often results in an formational change in the enzyme. bc of this change in shape of the enzyme, this can rly prevent the substrate from binding to the active site
d) i dont think adding a competitive inhibitor will increase the number of products bc competitive inhibitors decrease the reaction rate by blocking substrates from binding to the active site :/
e) false bc competitive inhibitors do not bind to the substrates; they bind to the active sites, thus blocking the substrate from entering the active site. u can see this in the blue-green square at the top figures
Light speed, or 300,000 kilometers a second, might seem like a speed
limit, but this is just an example of 3 + 1 thinking – where we still
haven’t got our heads around the concept of four dimensional space-time
and hence we think in terms of space having three dimensions and think
of time as something different.
For example, while it seems to us
that it takes a light beam 4.3 years to go from Earth to the Alpha
Centauri system, if you were to hop on a spacecraft going at 99.999 per
cent of the speed of light you would get there in a matter of days,
hours or even minutes – depending on just how many .99s you add on to
that proportion of light speed.
This is because, as you keep
pumping the accelerator of your imaginary star drive system, time
dilation will become increasingly more pronounced and you will keep
getting to your destination that much quicker. With enough .999s you
could cross the universe within your lifetime – even though someone you
left behind would still only see you moving away at a tiny bit less than
300,000 kilometres a second. So, what might seem like a speed limit at
first glance isn’t really a limit at all.
To try and comprehend
the four dimensional perspective on this, consider that it’s impossible
to move across any distance without also moving through time. For
example, walking a kilometer may be a duration of thirty minutes – but
if you run, it might only take fifteen minutes.

Answer:
RNA interference
Explanation:
Interference RNA is a mechanism of post-transcriptional silencing of specific genes, so that small RNA molecules complementary to an mRNA lead to its degradation, thus preventing its translation into proteins.
Gene silencing by interfering RNA is induced by small double stranded RNA molecules of 21 to 27 nucleotides called siRNA. These siRNAs undergo a series of processes in the cell as a result of which their double stranded RNA unfolds in a sense strand and an antisense strand. The antisense strand binds to the mRNA chain specifically for base complementarity, causing the resulting complex to be recognized by cellular and degraded mechanisms. Each siRNA is highly specific for the target nucleotide sequence to which it degrades. This phenomenon of gene interference occurs naturally in the body, being involved in the development and defense against viruses.
<em>Blood typing is done so you can safely donate your blood or receive a blood transfusion. It is also done to see if you have a substance called Rh factor on the surface of your red blood cells. Your blood type is based on whether or not certain proteins are on your red blood cells. These proteins are called antigens.</em>
