c) symbiosis is the long-term interaction between two different biological organisms
d) parasitism is when one organism is harmed while the other is benefited
Answer:
Enzyme inhibitors may alter the elimination rate of a particular drug or inhibit detoxication pathways
Explanation:
An enzyme inhibitor is a chemical compound capable of binding to an enzyme in order to reduce its activity. An enzyme inhibitor may bind to an active site and thus decreases the rate of reaction (direct inhibition). Enzyme inhibitors may act 1-to Inhibit detoxification enzymes and 2-reduce the elimination rate of enzyme drugs, thereby having dose-dependent toxicity effects. For example, many medicines are based on the inhibition of Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) proteins, which are a superfamily of enzymes required for drug metabolism.
Answer:
lateral; inferior
Explanation:
In anatomical terms:
- Superior is towards the head, and <u>inferior </u>is towards the feet.
- Medial is towards the centre of the body (belly button) whereas <u>lateral </u>is towards the outside of the body (towards the hip bones and arms, for example)
- Posterior is towards the back (spine), whereas anterior is towards the front (belly)
Therefore, the fingers are lateral (to the side) and inferior (lower) than the heart
Answer:
Ionic compounds
