Answer:

Stronger; a hydrophobic has lower dielectric constant. The lower the dielectric constant of the interior, the stronger the ionic interactions.

Explanation:

Ionic interactions are the electrostatic interactions between the oppositely charged ions. The strength of ionic interaction depends on the magnitude of the charges on the ions, the distance between the charged groups and the dielectric constant.  

Here, the dielectric constant is the property of the medium in which the ionic interactions are taking place. Dielectric constant represents the number of dipoles present in the medium or solvent. A medium with higher dielectric constant would attract the oppositely charged ions towards its own dipole and would thereby, make the ionic interaction between the ions weaker.

Given that the ionic bonding between substrate and enzyme is taking place in the hydrophobic interior, ionic interactions would be stronger since the hydrophobic medium has a lower dielectric constant.

The lower number of the electric dipoles or their absence in the hydrophobic interior would not attract the oppositely charged groups of substrate and enzyme towards its own dipoles as the water with higher dielectric constant would have done. This would allow stronger ionic interaction between the substrate and the enzyme.

Which of the following alternative engery technologies is most likey to be used to power a car?
puteri [66]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is Biofuel

Explanation:

Biofuel can be used as an alternative energy technology source to power a car.

The importance of using biofuel is that it causes less air pollution than fossil fuels, and  it has less effect on the global warming. Most importantly, it is produced from agricultural sources.

The biofuels that can be used are butanol,ethanol and biodiesel etc.

Wind, geothermal and hydropower can not be directly used to provide power to the car.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is that biofuel which can be used as an alternating technology to provide power to car.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

The network of neurons which gets activated in the condition of stress that is fear or anger is known as Sympathetic nervous system.  

During stress conditions, this system prepares the body physically and mentally either to fight or flight by controlling the production of hormones through activation of specific neuron network in the body. Mainly the adrenaline and norepinephrine which act and produces the response like increased heartbeat, sweating and other.

Thus, D)sympathetic is the correct answer.
