<u>Answer</u>: Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes thick mucus secretions.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- <em>Cystic fibrosis</em> is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in a gene that makes a protein called CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator).
- The CFTR protein normally functions as a channel for transport of chloride ions in cells responsible for mucus production.
- A person suffering from cystic fibrosis produces abnormal CFTR protein or no CFTR protein at all.
- This is the reason that thick, sticky mucus is produced instead of the thin, watery kind.
Starfish have a unique form of digestion in the animal kingdom and a water-vascular system that allows the animal to breathe.

Answer:
The septum
Explanation:
The septum is a thick wall of muscle that divides the heart. It separates the left and right sides of the heart.
Answer:
a. It is a competitive inhibitor.
Explanation:
A competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme. Binding of the competitive inhibitor to the active site of enzyme forms enzyme-inhibitor complex and does not allow the substrate to bind to the enzyme. This inhibits the reaction. However, the competitive inhibition is overcome by increasing the concentration of substrate around the enzyme to facilitate its binding to the enzyme's active site.
According to the given information, malonic acid competes with succinate for the active site of enzyme succinate dehydrogenase and inhibits the reaction. This inhibition is overcome by increasing the succinate concentration around the enzyme. This makes malonic acid a competitive inhibitor to succinate dehydrogenase.
