Answer:

Body temperature is monitored and controlled by the thermoregulatory centre in the brain. This centre has receptors sensitive to the temperature of the blood flowing through the brain. If the core body temperature is too high, the thermoregulatory centre causes the blood vessels supplying the skin capillaries to expand so that more blood flows through them. Since the blood flows through the entire body, it can take the excess heat from the core of the body to the skin, where it can be lost. When a blood vessel of any sort increases in diameter, we say that it dilates. Because the dilation is related to the vascular (blood) system, this process is called vasodilation.

Marina CMI [18]
A sperm cell's structure is very specialized. Its flagellum is used for locomotive function, to rapidly swim directly through the egg cell. While the cytoplasm, it contains organelles, such as the Mitochondria, wherein respiration occurs, to release the energy needed for the sperm's journey towards the egg cell. Sperm cells, contain special enzymes known as acrosomes, this special enzymes allows the sperm to break through the cell membrane of the egg.

The presence of a negative allosteric effector on an allosteric protein would: a. cause a shift to the left in the sigmoidal cur
Feliz [49]

Answer:

d. raise the apparent value of the equilibrium constant, L.

Explanation:

Allosteric regulation is a type of regulation of an enzyme by binding an effector molecule at a site other than the protein's active site (i.e., the allosteric site). The equilibrium constant (L) refers to the transition between two forms of an allosteric protein in absence of a ligand. The properties of allosteric enzymes are explained by conformational changes associated with a low-affinity tense (T) state, or a high-affinity relaxed (R) state. Negative allosteric effectors are molecules that bind to the allosteric site on an enzyme in order to decrease its activity, thereby leading the enzyme to a low activity T state and thus increasing the value of the equilibrium constant.
