Yes, there is growing evidence that cognitive impairment is associated with cigarette smoking.
That's what is called competitive enzymatic regulation. If there are more of that substance than the enzyme substrate, then most of the enzyme, if not all depending on the substance's concentration, will be inhibited on its action. If there are more substrate then the competitive substance, the expected reaction for that enzyme will happen at an expected rate. If the ratio substrate:substance is 1:1 then the reaction enzyme-substrate is very slowed down.
The Cambrian explosion was a period at the Pre-Cambrian boundary of the geologic time scale at 542 Ma. At this boundary, the fossil record shows that animals suddenly appeared in a dramatic radiation of life. A radiation is the relatively rapid development of new types of organisms that derive from a common ancestor. The Cambrian explosion is important because it marks the origination of all major animal groups called phyla.
