Answer:

Succinylcholine serves as competitive inhibitor of the enzyme responsible for hydrolysis of acetylcholine

Explanation:

Succinylcholine and acetylcholine are structurally almost same. The succinylcholine serves as a competitive inhibitor for the hydrolytic enzyme that breaks down the acetylcholine.

Succinylcholine binds to the active site of the enzyme. Since the active site of the enzyme is occupied by the competitive inhibitor, the substrate acetylcholine cannot bind to it and therefore, the reaction does not occur.

A competitive inhibitor of a reaction resembles the substrate and forms the enzyme-inhibitor (EI) complex to prevent catalysis.

Mrac [35]
Homeostasis is maintained through feedback because when one certain parameter of your body goes out of the homeostatic bounds, feedback mechanisms will message this back towards the regulatory mechanisms which are responsible for homeostasis maintenance in the first place. Another thing, other than death, which can happen would be a higher bodily temperature for example.

Which statement represents an abiotic environmental factor in an ecosystem?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

An example of an abiotic factor within an ecosystem is the air temperatures in the mountains.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, abiotic factors refer to all those non-living elements, which depend on chemical and physical elements. Water, soil, wind, temperature, climate, minerals and soil pH are abiotic elements.

In comparison to the other statements, the one that corresponds to an environmental abiotic factor is the air temperature in the mountains, describing even two factors, <u>air and temperature</u>.

<em>     The other alternatives, lion hunting the gazelle, flower growing on the vine or fish swimming in the lake represent </em><em>biotic</em><em> or living elements of an ecosystem.</em>
