Answer: Ascorbase a form of ascorbate, a drug used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes which acts to inhibit maltase a membrane bound enzyme that completes the digestion of starch in the human body.this inhibition is done through;

- By preventing substrates from binding to the active site therefore forming few enzyme complex substrates.

- it also inhibits the enzymes by binding to the active sites of that enzyme.

- it also does so by reacting slowly and also because it has a complementary shape to the active site of the enzyme maltase.

1. A mutation of a human gene blocks harmful viruses from infecting cells. How can the mutation be classified?
Yuri [45]

Answer:

It is a beneficial mutation.

Explanation: Mutations are permanent changes in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. Mutations can beneficial, neutral and harmful or deleterious. When change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA a mutation enhances the effectiveness of a protein or improves the protein function, it is said to be beneficial. When a mutation causes the synthesis of a protein which have the same amino acid as the original protein and performs the same function as the original protein, it is said to be silent or neutral. When a mutation results in the synthesis of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence and a nonfunctional protein, it is said to be harmful.

Michelle drew a simple diagram to show how a hurricane forms. Which location on the diagram indicates a low-pressure area?
inysia [295]

Answer:

"Location 4" indicates a low-pressure area

Explanation:

A low-pressure area is defined as the region in which the pressure in the atmosphere is comparatively lesser than nearby surrounding areas. This region is a depression that is comprised of more winds, warmer air, and lifting of air mass takes place.

In a low-pressure zone, the warm air becomes less dense, due to higher temperature, as a result of which it rises up into the atmosphere. As it rises up into the atmosphere, it eventually cools and condensation starts taking place. After a definite period of time, rainfall occurs.

Thus, in the given image, location 4 shows the low pressure area.
