In a biological reaction, succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of succinate to fumarate. The reaction is inhibited b

y malonic acid, a substance that resembles succinate but cannot be acted upon by succinate dehydrogenase. Increasing the amount of succinate molecules to those of malonic acid reduces the inhibitory effect of malonic acid. What is malonic acid's role with respect to succinate dehydrogenase?a. It is a competitive inhibitor.
b. It is an allosteric regulator.
c. It is able to bind to succinate.
d. It blocks the binding of fumarate.

Answer:

a. It is a competitive inhibitor.

Explanation:

A competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme. Binding of the competitive inhibitor to the active site of enzyme forms enzyme-inhibitor complex and does not allow the substrate to bind to the enzyme. This inhibits the reaction. However, the competitive inhibition is overcome by increasing the concentration of substrate around the enzyme to facilitate its binding to the enzyme's active site.

According to the given information, malonic acid competes with succinate for the active site of enzyme succinate dehydrogenase and inhibits the reaction. This inhibition is overcome by increasing the succinate concentration around the enzyme. This makes malonic acid a competitive inhibitor to succinate dehydrogenase.

DNA replication of chromosomal DNA in a cell requires all of the following, EXCEPT A) DNA polymerase B) primase C) helicase D) R
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is D)RNA polymerase

Explanation:

In DNA replication many enzymes and proteins are required to replicate a DNA template. For initiation of DNA synthesis the two DNA strands must be separated which is done by helicase.

Then primase adds short nucleotide sequence and initiate DNA replication. After that DNA polymerase acts and adds nucleotide at the 3' end of growing  DNA strand. Ligase is the enzyme that joins the two Okazaki fragments that are created in the lagging strand.

RNA polymerase is not required in DNA replication and it works in transcription therefore the correct answer is RNA polymerase.
