Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an enzyme that aids in the decomposition of ethyl alcohol (CH3OH) into nontoxic substances. Methy

l alcohol acts as a competitive inhibitor of ethyl alcohol by competing for the same active site on ADH. When attached to ADH, methyl alcohol is converted to formaldehyde, which is toxic in the body. Which of the following statements best predicts the effect of increasing the concentration of substrate (ethyl alcohol), while keeping the concentration of the inhibitor (methyl alcohol) constant? A. There will be an increase in formaldehyde because ADH activity increases. B. Competitive inhibition will be terminated because ethyl alcohol will bind to methyl alcohol and decrease ADH activity. C. The peptide bonds in the active site of the enzyme will be denatured, inhibiting the enzyme. D.Competitive inhibition will decrease because the proportion of the active sites occupied by substrate will increase.

Answer:

D.Competitive inhibition will decrease because the proportion of the active sites occupied by substrate will increase.

Explanation:

Methyl alcohol is a competitive inhibitor of ethyl alcohol. This means that both of them compete with each other for the same enzyme (ADH). Methyl alcohol leads to poisoning because it is converted to toxic formaldehyde in body. It can be treated by increasing the concentration of ethyl alcohol.

More ethyl alcohol (substrate) will reduce the competitive inhibition by methyl alcohol (inhibitor). This will happen because a substrate needs active sites on an enzyme to attach to it. If ethyl alcohol is increased in concentration, it will occupy more active sites and their availability to methyl alcohol will be reduced. Thus, the enzyme will not be able to act on methyl alcohol.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and other vasodilators are used in the early treatment of heart failure. They act
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Option c. cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart

Explanation:

The ACE inhibitors increases the diameter of the blood vessels (vasodilation) that improves the flow of blood. This reduces the work load on the heart. At the time of heart failure, a substance called angiotensin is released. This angiotensin formation is blocked by the ACE inhibitors. Angiotensin is involved in narrowing the blood vessels.

The ACE cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart. The ACE inhibitors causes vasodilation that allows decrease in blood pressure. So, there is no increase in arterial pressure, aldosterone and loss of volume. Thus, option C is correct.

From which part of the pituitary are hypothalamic hormones such as antidiuretic hormone (adh) and oxytocin released?
tatyana61 [14]
<span>The correct answer is posterior pituitary.</span>

ADH (AntiDiuretic Hormone) or Vasopressin is a peptide hormone which is produced in the hypothalamus. ADH is released from vesicles inside the cells of posterior pituitary into the circulation. ADH is released as a response of hyperosmolality of extracellular fluid. It increases the reabsorption of water in kidneys and constricts the blood vessels.

Oxytocin is also peptide hormone produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. It has a role in sexual reproduction.
