Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be The enzyme inhibitor fits into the enzyme's active site, which prevents the enzyme from catalyzing the reaction.

Enzyme inhibitors are the chemical substances which inhibit the functions of the enzymes by binding to the enzyme.

They are broadly of two types:

Irreversible inhibitors: They bound to the enzyme with the help of covalent bond and reduces the affinity of enzyme towards substrate by changing the shape of the active sites.

Reversible inhibitors: Theses are the molecules which attach to the enzymes with the help of non-covalent bonds such as hydrogen bonds, ionic bond, hydrophobic interactions et cetera.

They can be of various sub-types:

  • Competitive inhibitors: They compete with substrate for binding to the active site.
  • Uncompetitive inhibitors: They binds enzyme-substrate complex and can be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration.
  • Non-competitive inhibitors: They bind to site (allosteric site) other than active site.

How did water from the great barrier reef affect atp,Nadph, and sugars
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Water temperature leads to production of reactive oxygen species which later affects the products and by products of photosynthesis

Explanation:

There are several factors associated with water that can affect the coral bleaching.  

A) low water temperature  

B) Presence of chemical contaminants in the sea water

When both the temperature of sea water and solar radiations are high enough, photosynthesis is intensely stressed due to which reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced that can damage lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and DNA. In plants, photosystem II (PSII) activity gets inhibited by ROS as it causes photo inhibition. In case if it damages the  

thylakoidal membranes, energy decoupling of the electron transport in both PSI and PSII causes reduced ATP and NADP production. This happens because excess amount of electron are produced reduces oxygen instead of NADPH and thus produce superoxide ion.  

In algae’s, photosynthesis is affected due to these ROS. Instead of retaining the sugars and amino acids, the cell deliver more than 90% of their produce to the host cells.

Which animal can swim underwater walk on land and has a big bite?
Marianna [84]

Answer is the salt water crocodile.

Alligator has small legs with webbed feet. This enables it to swim under the water and walk on the land. Crocodiles also have a similar body structure like the alligators. They can also swim and walk. The alligator has a huge jaw with sharp teeth that can deliver a bite that damages internal organs of its prey. But there is a difference between the bite forces of alligator and crocodile, the crocodiles are bigger than the alligators, their jaws can deliver much more powerful bite than the alligators.

Although we consider it non-fat, skim milk actually has very low levels of lipids. therefore, it should test positive with sudan
mina [271]

Answer:

Sudan reagent is used for identification of fats and lipids in the food, feacal and other biological fluids. It gives red color in the presence of lipids and fats. The amount of lipid in the skimmed milk is negliable or very low. Therefore, the Sudan test is negative in skimmed milk.

Vitamin B12 is mostly found in animal-based food.

Vitamin C is found in abundant in plant-based food.

Explanation:

Vitamin B12 also called cyanocobalamin is obtained only from animal-based foods like fish, meat, egg and dairy fruits. Vitamin B-12 is helpful in the maintenance of nerve cells and blood cells. It is required to prevent certain types of anaemia, also an integral part of DNA formation.

Vitamin B12 is a fat-soluble vitamin. Vitamin B1 is found in animals because animals like cows store the vitamin from their gut bacteria and eventually passed to the ones consuming them.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin found in mainly citrus fruits. These are required for the formation of skin, tendons, collagen and cartilage. It is also helpful in maintenance of bones and teeth. It helps in the repair of skin.

Vitamin C is produced in plant cells by biochemical pathways because it needs them as coenzyme and oxidants for their growth.
