When a person has excess stomach acid, he or she may ingest some sodium bicarbonate. The rationale for doing this is that the so

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Sodium bicarbonate has molecular formula as . It is basic in nature as it dissociates to give sodium and bicarbonate ions.
When excess of acid is formed in the stomach then it means there is increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions. So, when sodium bicarbonate is ingested then it will neutralize the excess of acid formed in the stomach.
Thus, we can conclude that the rationale for doing this is that the sodium bicarbonate is a base and will neutralize the excess acid.

Answer:
The answer will be Ligand A with a dissociation constant (Kd) of M
Explanation:
When the dissociation constant in the ligand is small (in order of nano) ( ) it will be more tied. Due to a dissociation constant measures how much a ligand can be able to be separated from the protein so if the number is small it means that the ligand is highly binded to the protein.
On the other hand, the occupancy percentage of the ligand does not imply binding. Conversely, a High-affinity ligand binding with the proteins implies that a relatively low concentration of a ligand is adequate to occupy the maximum ligand-binding site.
