Some insecticides, such as chlorpyrifos, work by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which normally breaks down t

he neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Where does this insecticide most likely bind to inhibit the enzyme's activity?

Answer:

Anionic site which binds with the R-N^+ -

Explanation:

The enzyme,acetylcholinesterase is an essential part of the neurone system of both insect and animal. So,care must be taken when organophosphates and cabamates are used as insecticide/pesticide. Acetylcholinesterase contains two main part namely;

(1). Anionic site(negatively charged): this BINDS with the cationic site of the substrate which is the acetylcholine.

(2). The estaratic site is the site in which primary alcoholic group of the amino acid, serine, attacks the electrophilic part of the subitrage follow by the hydrolysis process in the presence of water which is a very fast reaction. This lead to the regeneration of the enzyme which start the program all over again.

Which of these is closest to the number of molecules of ATP we get from Anaerobic metabolism of one molecule of glucose? -2
aksik [14]

Explanation:

Fat molecules consist of three fatty acid chains connected by a glycerol backbone. Fatty acids are basically long chains of carbon and hydrogen and are the major source of energy during normal activities.

Fatty acids are broken down by progressively cleaving two carbon bits and converting these to acetyl coenzyme A. The acetyl CoA is the oxidized by the same citric acid cycle involved in the metabolism of glucose. For every two carbons in a fatty acid, oxidation yields 5 ATPs generating the acetyl CoA and 12 more ATPs oxidizing the coenzyme. This makes fat a terrific molecule in which to store energy, as the body well knows (much to our dismay).

The only biological drawback to this, and other, forms of oxidative metabolism is its dependence on oxygen. Thus, if energy is required more rapidly than oxygen can be delivered, muscles switch to the less efficient anaerobic pathways. Interestingly, this implies that an anaerobic workout will not "burn" any fat, but will preferentially deplete the body of glucose. Of course, your body can't survive very long on just anaerobic metabolism...it just can't generate enough energy.

What is the name of the enzyme complex that forms at the start of transcription?.
blagie [28]

The enzyme complex that forms at the start of transcription is the Rna polymerase-promoter complex.

<h3>What is transcription?</h3>

Transcription is a biological process during which the information on DNA is transcribed into genetic codes in RNA.

The process of transcription occurs in 3 stages, which are:

  • Initiation
  • Elongation
  • Termination

During initiation, an enzyme known as RNA polymerase binds to a region on the DNA to be transcribed. This region is known as the promoter region.

Thus, the binding leads to the formation of RNA polymerase-promoter complex, otherwise known as the initiation complex.
