Answer:

(C) Competitive inhibition

Explanation:

When a substrate competes with and inhibitor, what they are actually doing is competing by the active site of the enzyme. In terms of probabilities, when there is much more of one molecule of X than its competitor Y, it is more likely for any of the molecules of X to reach the active site of the enzyme than for any of the molecules of Y.

Then is one would like to reduce the effects of an inhibitor reversible bonded to an enzyme, one possibility is to increase the concentration of a substrate (which in turn means that there will be a higher relative number of its molecules in the media), increasing the probability to meet the active site of the enzyme and as a result displacing the inhibitor (assuming it not increased as well).

What is the probability that a cross between a true-breeding pea plant with spherical seeds and a true-breeding pea plant with w

notsponge [240]

Answer:

1 or 100%

Explanation:

Let the allele for seed shape be represented by S.

True breeding spherical shape seeded pea plant will have SS as genotype

True breeding pea plant with wrinkled seeds will have ss as genotype

Crossing the two: SS x ss

Progeny: Ss, Ss, Ss, Ss

Based on the assumption that spherical shape allele is dominant over wrinkle shape allele, all the F1 offspring will have spherical seeds.

<em>Hence, the probability is 1 or 100%</em>

A hiker is climbing up a steep path. Halfway up, he finds the muscles in his

scoray [572]

Answer:

A. He has a large buildup of lactate in his muscles.

Explanation:

Ideally, our body cells, via the process of aerobic cellular respiration, need oxygen to break down glucose. However, during rigorous activities or exercises, oxygen can become unavailable for use. In this case, the body cells switch to use another way of cellular respiration, which is FERMENTATION.

This fermentation causes a build up of lactic acid/lactate (its byproduct) in the cells of the muscles being used, which physically causes a burning and aching sensation just as the case of this hiker. The climbing of the steep path is causing causing the fast usage of oxygen in his cells.
