Answer:

option D. continuous muscle spasms and convulsions

Explanation:

Sarin is an organophosphorus synthetic compound and is highly toxic. Sarin toxic is colorless and odorless. It act as a potent nerve agent and used as a chemical weapon. This toxic substance binds irreversibly with the enzyme acetylcholinesterase.  This enzyme is responsible for degrading acetylcholine. The toxin interferes with the normal functioning mechanism of nervous system.

The organism poisoned by sarin could suffer paralysis,  vomiting, continuous muscle spasms and convulsions. Thus, option D is correct.

Answer:

The two enantiomers of dopa have very different shapes, even if they have the same number of atoms of each element involved and have the same ones connected to one another. The great difference in activity shows that the key thing in determining biological activity is shape, not merely the number or arrangement of atoms.

Explanation:

  • The two enantiomers of dopa have very different shapes, even if they have the same number of atoms of each element involved and have the same ones connected to one another.
  • The great difference in activity shows that the key thing in determining biological activity is shape, not merely the number or arrangement of atoms.
