How does a competitive inhibitor slow enzyme catalysis?

Biology
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

By preventing the binding of substrate to active site

Explanation:

Competitive inhibitors exhibit a type of reversible inhibition. These are the substances that bind to the binding site of the substrate on the enzyme, that is the active site.

One the competitive inhibitor is bound to the active site on the enzyme, the substrate cannot bind to it and there is no enzyme-substrate complex formation. Hence, the competitive inhibitor inhibits/slow down the enzyme catalysis by occupying the active site of the enzyme and thereby not allowing the substrate to bind to the enzyme.

The body maintains homeostasis through
Darina [25.2K]
B) Feedback inhibition.

<span>Its not actually just one system if you look at it, there are various interdependent system that actually manages every movement of every system in order to maintain homeostasis, plainly every set function is a coordinated body system response. For example, the digestive system digests food because of the enzymes and the cells and organs present in its system but again, this is aided by the different hormones which is part of the endocrine system, interdependently. Thus eventually, the circulatory system is the organ system that intiates in dissemination of the different processed and intially metabolized nutrients in the digestive system and sent throughout the body. Incidentally, also the immune system acts as agent in again many systems to maintain the so-called homeostasis.  </span>

How do the colors of flowers relate to pollination?
FromTheMoon [43]

Showy petals or sepals with obvious shape, size, and color for the vector's vision are critical and specific signals for the appropriate pollinator .

Butterflies and birds are attracted to red and yellow colors, and these contrasting colors in the same flower are readily seen by a number of pollinators.

Bees have vision that is shifted toward the blue end of our visible spectrum. They do not see red colors but do see into the near-ultraviolet. Thus when a bee visits a brightly colored flower ( which may attract other pollinators) they are cued most likely by a UV pattern we can not detect without a UV detector.

For animals such as moths and bats that fly at night a white or very pale color is certainly more observable.

Nectar guides and other color patterns may help either make the plant more distinguishable or orient the oncoming "bomber" to make the right flight pattern landing. .
