Why are uncompetitive andmixed inhibitors generally considered to

Biology
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The uncompetitive and mixed inhibitors are not affected by the substrate concentration while inhibition by a competitive inhibitor can be overcome by increasing the concentration of the substrate.

Explanation:

A competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme. When the competitive inhibitor combines with the enzyme and forms the enzyme-inhibitor complex (EI complex), the substrate cannot bind to the active site. However, the inhibition by competitive inhibitor can be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration around the enzyme which in turn would allow the substrate to bind to the active site and the reaction would proceed.  

On the other hand, an uncompetitive inhibitor binds to the site at the enzyme different from the active site. Once the ES complex is formed, the uncompetitive inhibitor joins the complex to inhibit the enzymatic activity.  

Likewise, a mixed inhibitor also occupies a site on the enzyme distinct from the active site for the substrate. A mixed inhibitor binds to the enzyme or ES complex to inhibit the reaction.  

Since the binding site for uncompetitive and mixed inhibitors are distinct from the substrate-binding site on the enzyme, increasing the substrate concentration can not overcome the inhibition.

Research by social scientists suggests that it takes ____ percent of the population of a community, country, or the world to bri
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) 5-10%</em>

Explanation:

We have seen and depicted various scenarios where we see how different changes arise and dominate the world. Social scientists suggest that as low as 5-10% people of a population are enough to bring about a change because people tend to copy what others are doing. Same goes for countries of the world. Each new popular technique which is learnt by one country tends to become popular and learnt by other countries. For example, the usage of a social app starts with a few members of a population using it and with time it becomes popular in the whole world.

levacccp [35]

The answer is; D


The angle at which the sun rays strike the earth at the equator is more or less 90 degrees while you move towards the poles, it much less than this. This means that the unit of sunlight per surface area received at the equator is higher than that at the poles. This is why the equator is always warmer than the poles.
