Answer:

The correct answer is option e) "low acetyl coa / coa-sh ratios".

Explanation:

Allosteric inhibition, also known as negative allosteric modulation, occurs when a ligand decreases one enzyme's affinity to its substrate by binding to a site different from the active site. One classic example of allosteric inhibition takes place in pyruvate dehydrogenase, an enzyme that converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA by a process called pyruvate decarboxylation. Pyruvate dehydrogenase is inhibited by the end products of the reactions that it catalyzes to regulate its activity. Therefore, a low acetyl coa / coa-sh ratios would not inhibited pyruvate dehydrogenase, on the contrary, a high concentration of acetyl coa would inhibit its activity.

Answer:

e) low acetyl-CoA/CoA-sh ratios

Explanation:

The enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase is allosterically inhibited by a high concentration of some of the products of the reaction it catalyzes: NADH and Acetyl-CoA, and ATP (since its a enzyme involved in the cellular respiration, a metabolic process that converts organic molecules into energy/ATP).

So, if you have a low ratio of acetyl-CoA/CoA-sh it means you have a more of CoA-sh than acetyl-CoA, therefore wouldn't allosterically inhibited the enzyme.

anygoal [31]

I think this is because the molecules in the rock are so small. The rock is also a solid.

The blood cells containing hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein that transports oxygen, are called __________.

Otrada [13]

The blood cells containing hemoglobin, that transports oxygen (O2) to the body tissues of vertebrates, are called red blood cells. Red blood cells (RBCs), are also referred to as red cells, red blood corpuscles, haematids, erythroid cells or erythrocytes, (from Greek erythros for "red" and kytos for "hollow vessel"..RBCs take up oxygen in the lungs and release it into tissues while squeezing through the body's capillaries.

In a biological reaction involving an enzyme, what does the substrate bind to? the active site of another substrate the inactive

alexandr402 [8]

Answer: The part of the enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site (since that's where the catalytic “action” happens). ... Thanks to these amino acids, an enzyme's active site is uniquely suited to bind to a particular target—the enzyme's substrate or substrates—and help them undergo a chemical reaction. To catalyze a reaction, an enzyme will grab on (bind) to one or more reactant molecules. These molecules are the enzyme's substrates. In some reactions, one substrate is broken down into multiple products. ... The products then leave the active site of the enzyme.

Describe and explain how the rate of photosynthesis is affected by light intensity

Tema [17]

Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply. At very high light intensities, photosynthesis is slowed and then inhibited, but these light intensities do not occur in nature.
