Tamoxifen is a drug used to prevent recurrence of certain types of breast cancers that require estrogen to grow. Tamoxifen binds

to the active site of the estrogen receptor protein, preventing estrogen from binding to the enzyme. Once Tamoxifen binds to the protein, the protein is permanently deactivated. Which of the following descriptions best fits Tamoxifen? A. Tamoxifen is a reversible, noncompetitive inhibitor. B. Tamoxifen is an irreversible, noncompetitive inhibitor. . Tamoxifen is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor. D. Tamoxifen is a reversible, competitive inhibitor. E. Tamoxifen is not an inhibitor.

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.

What is the [OH-]if the pH of a solution 10.62
Lerok [7]
As we know,

                     pH + pOH  =  14
Or,
                     pOH  =  14 - pH

Putting Value of pH,

                    pOH  =  14 - 10.62

                    pOH  =  3.38

pOH is converted into [OH⁻] as follow,

                   [OH⁻]  =  10⁻pOH             ∴ -pOH is in power, 10 means antilog

Water vapor particles are most likely to phase change into liquid particles if the vapor particles come into contact with
dalvyx [7]
Water vapour particles are most likely to phase change into liquid particles if the vapour particle come into contact with A COOLER SURFACE.
For a liquid to change to gas, it has to absorb enough energy to break the chemical bond that is holding the liquid particles together. When a liquid change to gas it is called vaporization. When a vapour, for instance water vapour comes in contact with cooler surfaces they lose energy and get converted back to the liquid state; this process is called condensation.

Which statement applies to electronegativity?
densk [106]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself whenever a bond is formed.

This property increases as we move from left to right across a period because the number of charge on the nucleus gets increased and electrons are attracted more towards the nucleus.

This property decreases as we move from top to bottom in a group because the electrons get add up in the new shells which make them further away from the nucleus.

Thus, the correct answer is Option A.
