Answer:

16.66 %

Explanation:

The receptors that are bound with the ligand can be calculated by the formula as follows:

Kd = [R] [L]/[RL]

Here, Kd is dissociation constant = 1.5 mM

R is free receptor concentration = 10 mM

L is free ligand concentration = 2.5 mM

The values needs to be constitute to find the percentage  of receptors that are bound to ligand.

Put all the values

1.5 = 10 × 2.5 / RL or RL = 25 /1.5

So RL = 16.66

Hence 16.66 % of receptor is bound to substrate.

Thus, the answer is 16.66%

Maksim231197 [3]

The hormone to be given is oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus then stored in the posterior pituitary gland (along with antidiuretic hormone or vasopressin) that is responsible mainly for uterine contraction and milk ejection or letdown. Oxytocin induces contraction of the myoepithelial cells in the breast for milk letdown. On the other hand, there is upregulation of oxytocin receptors during parturition which makes the uterus more sensitive to oxytocin. Oxytocin is also known to induce labor and reduce post-partum bleeding.

Explain how the availability of resources in the environment is linked to exponential growth of a species
Alinara [238K]

Answer: Exponential growth occurs when resources in the environment are abundantly available to a species.

Explanation: When a food source amount drops, so does the survival rate of the predator that eats that specific food source. When a food source grows too abundantly at too fast a rate, predators increase in numbers.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is - leads.

Explanation:

In ECG or electrocardiogram, a test that is used to measure the electric activity of the heart of an individual, each electric impulse cause a electric wave to travel through the heart and cause the heart pump to pump blood.

There are electrodes that received the electric impulse in this machines, electrodes have self adhesive pads and attached with various leads mostly 12, that carries the impulses in the combinations that are recorded on the ECG.

Thus, the correct answer is - leads.
