Allosteric regulation or non-competitive is the same concept. Allosteric means, from the Greek, another place/other space.
So, starting by a non-competitive inhibitor, you could design an enzyme like a circle with two separate spots/recesses, symbolising connecting spots, one for the inhibitor and another one for the substrate. When the inhibitor is then placed into its position it changes the conformity of substrate's spot impeding it to connect.
For a competitive inhibitor, you could again design an enzyme like a circle but now only with a single binding spot where the inhibitor would connect so the substrate could not.
As for the irreversible inhibitor, you could design an enzyme as a circle again but it doesn't matter where you connect the inhibitor, whether on the substrate spot or not, as long as you make clear that there is a strong covalent bond between the enzyme and the inhibitor that doesn't allow the substrate to bind to the enzyme. You could represent this covalent bond by a simple trace connecting the enzyme to the inhibitor: -- .

evablogger [386]

The border between the transparent edge of the cornea and the white of the fibrous sclera is the limbus. The limbus contains clusters of limbal stem cells that help to maintain the corneal epithelium and to regulate corneal transparency and vision throughout life. The limbus also acts as a boundary that protects the conjunctiva and its blood vessels.

which one of the plants pictured below was given water mixed with salt, and which one was given pure water? Explain how you know
ludmilkaskok [199]

The plant on the right must have been the one given a saltwater mixture while the one on the left must have been given pure water.

<h3>Osmosis</h3>

Looking at the attached image closely, one would see that the plant on the right has withered leaves while the leaves of the plant on the left seem to be flourishing.

The plant on the right must have been the one fed with water mixed with salt and here is the reason. Adding water mixed with salt to the soil on which the plant grows will decrease the water potential of the soil relative to the water potential of the plant's root. Thus, water will move from the plant into the soil through the root by osmosis. This will cause the various cells of the plant to become flaccid, and hence, the withered leaves.

On the contrary, the plant on the left must have been fed with pure water. Feeding the soil with pure water will increase the water potential of the soil relative to the water potential of the plant's root. Thus, water will move from the soil into the plant through the root by osmosis. This will cause the various cells of the plant to become turgid, and hence, the flourishing leaves.

When a cell is deprived of oxygen, its lysosomes tend to burst and release their contents into the cell. As a result of this, th
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - undergo self-digestion and die.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are cell organelle that is membrane-bound and has digestive enzymes in them. These cell organelle help in digesting cells that are worn out, ruptured cells deprived of oxygen by bursting themselves.

Its bursting nature also helps in digesting and killing antigens and microbes. It is a very essential cell organelle that helps in digesting and killing damage cell parts or cells.

The lengthy small intestine receives secretions from the ____________ and ____________, completes digestion of the nutrients in
vitfil [10]

Answer:The lengthy small intestine receives secretions from the ______pancrease______ and ______liver______, completes digestion of the nutrients in _________chyme_______, absorbs the products of digestion, and transports the remaining residues to the ________large________ intestine.

Explanation: digestion of food is necessary for absorption of nutrients. In this process food is broken down into forms that can be absorbed by the body . food is broken down by the teeth and the enzymes in saliva,when it is in the mouth. From there it moves to the stomach through the oesophagus. In the stomach, the content is further mixed with enzymes and the churning breaks down food further.From the stomach food moves to the small intestine. In the small intestine, digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver acts on food. The small intestine is where digested food is absorbed.it has a large surface area and finger-like projection called villi to carry out the function of absorbing nutrients.

From there, undigested food us passed to the large intestine from where it is passed out through the anus
