The muscles are external intercostal muscles, diapraghm and the abdomen muscles contract to allow air to pass into the lungs through the trachea. These muscle contractions will result in an added volume of the thorax which in return will cause in a pressure drop in the thorax. These contractions are essential in inhalation and exhalation.

What is enzyme, a substrate and competitive enzyme inhibition?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Enzyme: A biomolecule that speed up the rate of chemical reactions without being used up.

Substrate: A substance or chemical that enter the chemical reaction and is being converted into a new substance  (product).

Competitive enzyme inhibition: Inhibition of enzyme's activity by binding of inhibitor to substrate binding site of the enzyme.

Explanation:

Enzymes are the biomolecules that serve to increase the rate of reactions by lowering down the required activation energy. The enzyme is never used up during reactions.  

Substrates are the chemicals that undergo a chemical change and produce products.  

For example, Glucose is the substrate for hexokinase enzyme and is converted into glucose 6 phosphate (the product).

When the inhibitor competes with the substrate for the binding site on the enzyme and does not allow the substrate to bind to the enzyme, the process is called competitive enzyme inhibition. It can be overcome by increasing the concentration of substrate in the system.

7. How are the Adirondack Mountains believed to have been named?
andreyandreev [35.5K]
The earliest written use of the name, spelled Rontaks, was in 1724 by the French missionary Joseph-François Lafitau. He defined it as tree eaters. In the Mohawk language, Adirondack means porcupine, an animal that may eat bark. The Mohawks had no written language at the time so Europeans have used various phonetic spellings. An English map from 1761 labels it simply Deer Hunting Country and the mountains were named Adirondacks in 1837 by Ebenezer Emmons.
