Answer:
Tamoxifen is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor.
Explanation:
In order to binds to the active site of the estrogen receptor protein, tamoxifen have to compete with the other chemical compound, and inhibits the estrogen release, so it is a competitive inhibitor. Then, you said that when tamoxifen binds to the receptor, the protein is permanently deactivated, so it is also irreversible.
Answer: D. An increase in entropy
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an disordered arrangement to an ordered arrangement, the entropy is said to increase and vice versa.
For a reaction to be spontaneous, the enthalpy of the solution must decrease and the entropy must increase.
To overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid solute to dissolve in water, an increase in entropy would make the reaction spontaneous as the system would move to a more disordered state.
In an aquarium the water quantity is limited and fish excrete ammonia through their gills and body, this dissolves in water and creates toxins.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- In an aquarium the water quantity is limited and fish excrete ammonia through their gills and body, this dissolves in water and creates toxins. Over some time some bacteria develop in water which converts this ammonia into nitrites and then into nitrates. Till this process is complete, the aquarium remains a death trap.
There are some reasons for a fish to die early,
- This one is common for beginners. They don’t have any idea about the nitrogen cycle. And they simply buy a fish tank and fish on the same day, go home and set it up.
- Ammonia spikes - Even in a cycled tank, you can have occasional ammonia spikes due to overfeeding. Incompatible tank mates - If you put a too docile fish with a very aggressive cichlid, it will get harassed and eventually die due to stress.
