Type 2 diabetes (insulin-independent diabetes) is a non-infectious disease. If not treated this disease is characterised by larg

e fluctuations in the concentration of glucose in the blood Maltase is an enzyme that completes the digestion of starch in humans Molecules of maltase are bound to the microvilli of epithelial cells in the small intestine Ascorbate is a drug used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Molecules of ascorbic have a very similar shape to that of the substrate for maltase. (1) Explain how ascorbase acts to inhibit these membrane-bound enzymes.

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.

Which three of the following are examples of feedback mechanisms which help maintain homeostasis?
vladimir2022 [97]
D. Insulin secretion in response to high blood sugar.

Homeostasis can be described as a tendency of living organisms to maintain a state of stable internal environment. In other words, it is the tendency to resist any change in the optimal conditions for survival.
It is brought by several regulatory mechanisms in the body such as regulation of body temperature, regulation of pH, regulation of osmolarity etc.

A mutation exists in a gene that controls hair growth on the middle digit of human fingers. some people have mid-digital hair, w
makkiz [27]
The best explanation that best predicts what happens to the trait over time is that the incidence of mid-digital hair will not change because it offers no selective advantage or disadvantage. A mutation is a sudden, spontaneous random change that occurs in the genetic make up of an organism. The presence or absence of mid-digital hair is controlled by a single gene with two alleles, and the allele H is dominant.
