Answer:

Inhibitor

Explanation:

Enzyme inhibitors are compounds that can interact with the enzyme but don't trigger any biological response. This is what sulfanilamide does. When the enzyme is bound to sulfanilamide, it stops being able to bind PABA, its normal substrate, and so it cannot perform its biological action. In consequence, the entire biosynthetic pathway for folic acid is stopped.

Show your work. Write a balanced net ionic equation for the following reaction. H3PO4(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) Ca3(PO4)2(aq) + H2O(l)
viktelen [127]
To do a balancing to result to a balanced equation, we do elemental balance from each side of the equation. Hence we do separate balances for H, P, O and Ca. In this case, the final balanced equation after balancing elementally is <span>3 Ca(OH)2(aq) + 2 H3Po4(aq) = 6 H2O(l) + Ca3(Po4)2(s)</span>

A. If both Assertion &amp; Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. B. If both Assertion &amp
Fofino [41]

Answer:

D- Assertion is false and Reason is true

Explanation:

Precipitation is said to have occurred when an insoluble product is formed from soluble ones. Let us take an instance;

BaCl2(aq) + H2SO4(aq) -------> BaSO4(s) + 2HCl(aq)

The barium sulphate so formed is an insoluble product obtained from the reaction of soluble barium chloride and sulphuric acid. This is a typical example of a double replacement reaction as the both ions exchanged partners.

Thus, the assertion is false but the reason is true.

How is weight difference than mass?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Mass does not change based on gravity

Explanation:

Mass is how much matter is in an object. That's why we have the same mass on Moon, Neptune, etc.

But weight depends on gravity. That's why our weight on the moon is less than Earth because the Moon's gravity is less than Earth.
