Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an enzyme that aids in the decomposition of ethyl alcohol (CH3OH) into nontoxic substances. Methy

l alcohol acts as a competitive inhibitor of ethyl alcohol by competing for the same active site on ADH. When attached to ADH, methyl alcohol is converted to formaldehyde, which is toxic in the body.
Which of the following statements best predicts the effect of increasing the concentration of substrate (ethyl alcohol), while keeping the concentration of the inhibitor (methyl alcohol) constant?

a. There will be an increase in formaldehyde because ADH activity increases.
b. Competitive inhibition will be terminated because ethyl alcohol will bind to methyl alcohol and decrease ADH activity.
c. The peptide bonds in the active site of the enzyme will be denatured, inhibiting the enzyme.
d. Competitive inhibition will decrease because the proportion of the active sites occupied by substrate will increase.

Answer:

d. Competitive inhibition will decrease because the proportion of the active sites occupied by substrate will increase.

Explanation:

Enzymes are bio catalysts in living cells responsible for aiding biochemical reactions.

Their active sites are primary protein  3D structure  for binding with substrates during   reactions.

Enzymes reactions are usually affected by inhibitors(e.g methyl alcohol) which compete with the active site with the actual substrate(ethyl alcohol) ,

This is an example of competitive inhibition. The more ethyl alcohol available, the more active sites  occupied, therefore denying the inhibitor methylalchol  chances to the active site, thus preventing the formation of toxic formaldehyde, and more of non toxic substances from formation of more ADH-METHYL ALCOHOL COMPLEXES at the active sites

DNA replication is Group of answer choices conservative. a one-step process. semi-conservative. not carried out by enzymes. not
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is: semi-conservative.

Explanation:

DNA replication is an important process in which the DNA is duplicated before cell division so each daughter cell can have a copy of genetic material.

DNA replication is <u>semi-conservative because one strand of DNA is new and the other one is the old strand</u>. To replicate itself, the DNA double helix is opened, and then each strand serves as a model for the new strands.

DNA replication is <u>not a one-step process</u>, as it takes several complicated steps in which <u>lots on enzymes participate</u> (like DNA polymerase and DNA helicase).

DNA replication is <u>also carried by prokaryotic cells</u>, though it's a much simpler process.

Food Web <br><br>please help ​
a_sh-v [17]
A. land plants, tiny water plants
a. slug, frog, newt
b. plants, slug-insect-water fleas, frog-fish-newt, perch-fox, heron
c. water fleas, diving beetles
d. heron, perch
e. one thing that could happen if all frogs suddenly died is that there would be an overpopulation of slugs, insects, and beetles. another thing that could happen would be that foxes would only rely on getting slugs for food so the slugs would soon go extinct and the plants would possibly over populate.

hope this helps!!
