The Vmax of the isoform of glycogen phosphorylase expressed in muscles is significantly larger than the isoform of the enzyme ex

pressed in the liver enzyme. Explain the functional significance of this observation.

Answer and Explanation: In enzyme kinetics, one constant describing enzyme activity is <em>Maximal Velocity</em> (Vmax). It indicates how fast an enzyme can catalyze the reaction. It is dependent on substrate concentration.

As the muscle is an organ which needs a great amount of energy, the enzyme glycogen phosphorilase is very active on the organ, compared to the liver, where glicose is stored. So, the Vmax of glycogen phosphorylase expressed in muscle is faster than when expressed in the liver, means the enzyme in muscle has a bigger concentration of substrate and therefore will reach Vmax faster, i.e. will be significantly larger.

Anton [14]

Answer:

To regulate water balance in the body

Explanation:

The kidneys are two bean shaped renal organs which perform a host of functions for the body such as regulating fluid balance, filtering minerals from the blood etc. Among their functions is the regulation of water balance in the body through the antidiuretic hormone.

When an athlete completes a physical activity and sweats a lot, the kidney reacts to the loss of water by sweat by adjusting urine output causing the body to produce lower and more concentrated urine.

A plant with dark-purple flowers and a plant with white flowers are crossed. All of the offspring have lavender flowers. The all
dimaraw [331]
I believe the answer is incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance creates a mix of the two phenotype(white and dark purple flowers) to create a third phenotype (lavender). Lavender is a mix.

Whereas, co-dominance would not be a mix but both traits would exist within the organism. In your question, it would be codominance if the dark purple flower and the white flower created a flower with white and dark flower pedals. This would not be a mix of the phenotype, but a co-existance of both phenotype.

I hope that helps! :D
