What would happen if another substance competed for the enzyme active site?

1 answer:

6 0

That's what is called competitive enzymatic regulation. If there are more of that substance than the enzyme substrate, then most of the enzyme, if not all depending on the substance's concentration, will be inhibited on its action. If there are more substrate then the competitive substance, the expected reaction for that enzyme will happen at an expected rate. If the ratio substrate:substance is 1:1 then the reaction enzyme-substrate is very slowed down.

Answer:

read below

Explanation:

Convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. The aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the Earth that extends to 2900 km.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Additive effects

Explanation:

In pharmacology, sometimes more than one drug is used to treat a disorder. The two or more drugs are used as they treat the disease more effectively than they treat the disorder independently. The two drugs interact in one of the two ways: the additive effect and the synergistic effect.

In the given question, the drugs when combined produce the sum of the drugs equal to the effect shown by the drugs individually therefore the effect of the drug is added. This type of drug interaction is known as the additive effect.

Thus, Additive effect is the correct answer.
