anyanavicka [17]
<h3><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

The active site of an enzyme

a. Is where the semi-permeable membrane is located

b. Is a specific bulge of protuberance on an enzyme

C. Is a groove or crevice in the structure of the enzyme into which the substrate fits

d. Rigidly resists any alteration of its shape

<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

C. Is a groove or crevice in the structure of the enzyme into which the substrate fits.

<h3><u>Explanation</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

The active site is one such gap or pocket to which the substrate adapts and binds to the enzyme.

The active site is the region of the enzyme to which the substrate molecule binds and causes a chemical reaction. The active site is composed of amino acid residues that form a temporary bond with the substrate.

Answer:

1. Potassium

2. increasing towards zero

3. hyperpolarization

4. voltage-regulated Potassium

Explanation:

Membrane potential can be defined as the difference in electric charges inside and outside of a cell. The resting membrane potential (RMP) occurs when there is no net current across the membrane and therefore the cell is in a non-excited state. At the RMP, sodium ions (Na+) are more concentrated inside the extracellular fluid (ECF) than inside the intracellular fluid (ICF), while potassium ions (K+)  are more concentrated inside the ICF. The diffusion of K+ outside the cell triggers its hyperpolarization, by becoming the membrane potential more negative compared to the resting potential. As the potential nears +35 mV, the voltage-regulated potassium channels are open, thereby K+ ions leave the cell down its concentration gradient, while voltage-gated Na+ channels become saturated and inactivate.
