The binding of a compound to an enzyme is observed to slow down or stop the rate of the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme. Increa

sing the substrate concentration reduces the inhibitory effects of this compound. Which of the following could account for this observation? View Available Hint(s) The binding of a compound to an enzyme is observed to slow down or stop the rate of the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme. Increasing the substrate concentration reduces the inhibitory effects of this compound. Which of the following could account for this observation? A. The compound is a competitive inhibitor.B. The compound causes a cofactor to be lost from the enzyme. C.The compound is an allosteric inhibitor. D. The compound reduces disulfide bonds, causing the enzyme molecules to partially unfold. E. The compound forms a covalent bond with one of the amino acid residues needed for enzyme activity.

Answer:

The correct answer is A the compound is a competitive inhibitor

Explanation:

Competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate to bind to the active site of the target enzyme and after binding to the active site the inhibitor slow down or stop the reaction catalyzed by that enzyme.

          Competitive inhibitor basically effects the Km value of the enzyme thus decreasing the activity of the later.

           Increasing the substrate concentration displace the inhibitor from the enzyme"s active site thus reducing the inhibitory effects of the later thus increasing the activity of the enzyme.

Help please! Describe the process of natural selection and how it affects hummingbird populations.
Kipish [7]

<span>Natural selection has 4 processes.</span>

<span>Individuals looks different and have different characteristics from another within their own species (genetic variation). Some characteristics suits better for the environment, which has to be passed on from one generation to the next. The humming birds with long bills will mate with those that have that too so they'll produce offspring with long bills. </span>

<span>The second process is over production of offspring. The humming birds produces lots of offspring but only a few survives. </span>

<span>Another factor of natural selection is struggle for existence, which leads to differential survival and reproduction. There are environmental pressures, like not having enough space or food, for example, humming birds compete fiercely for resources like nectar. Natural selection will favor individuals that are more efficient at getting nectar and natural selection will result in changes in wing shape which can allow them to fly longer distance and affect the length and shape of bill for them to drink nectar. Little changes may affect how well they feed and survive. Those who are the fittest survives and are most likely to reproduce and pass on their advantageous genes to their offspring. If the long bills are more advantageous and can survive better in a particular environment, then overtime, those with short bills will disappear because they can't survive and the entire population would have long bills.</span>

What is an Oxitec mosquito? What is its purpose?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Oxitec developed a genetically modified version of the yellow fever mosquito to help control the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases.

Oxitec created genetically-altered males of the species that produce the protein called tTA, which negatively affects cell development.
