Answer:

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex. In vertebrates, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. This allows for faster reflex actions to occur by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain.

It uses a reflex arc because a reflex controls the brain and makes you think quick to do a fast movement that is known as a reflex, a example is something falling and your instinct is to catch it.

Phosphatases are a family of enzymes that remove phosphate groups from specific proteins; these phosphate groups had been added
guapka [62]

Answer:

Kinases would stop working too.

Explanation:

Cells work constantly to maintain homeostasis or equilibrium within themselves. One of the mechanisms used for this purpose is feedback. As mentioned in the question, kinases put phosphates on proteins, and then, phosphatases take them off. Therefore, for phosphatases to work, kinases must be working at the same pace. By inhibiting the phosphatases the number of phosphate-proteins will be too high. This can be perceived by the kinases and they will automatically stop working since there's an excess of product. That process is called feedback.
