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.

An objects position is always defined relative to a reference point. If the object changes position, its motion can be described
Orlov [11]
The position of the diver is described as "below a certain point"; therefore, the reference point must be above the diver. For a diver in the middle of his dive, the bottom of the pool, the other swimmers and the far side of the swimming pool are likely to be below the diver, or at level with the diver at most. Out of the options, the only point of reference that is likely to be above the diver is B. the diving board.

For both ectotherms and endotherms, metabolic rate tends to increase as mass increases

As the masses of the dinosaurs increase, how do their metabolic rates change? How does this compare to living animals?

>> As with living animals, the higher a dinosaur’s mass, the higher its metabolic rate.
