Answer:

Explanation:

An allosteric enzyme is one in which the activity of the enzyme can be controlled by the biniding of a molecule to the "allosteric site". This really just means somewhere other than the active site. Thus allosteric control of an enzyme can be classed in two ways. A positive allosteric modification is the binding of a molecule to the enzyme which increase the rate of reaction. Sort of like catalysing the catalysing effect of an enzyme. Obviously the opposite is true of negative allosteric modification. A good example for this is the activity of phosphofructokinase, which is promoted by a high AMP concentration, and inhibited by a high ATP concentration. This should make sense if you think about the action of a kinase etc.

What is true of saturated fatty acids?

anzhelika [568]

Answer: They have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.

Saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

A fatty acid that doesn’t contain any double bond between carbons in their molecular structure is known as saturated fatty acid. They are also incapable of absorbing hydrogen in their molecular structure thus the name.

Saturated fatty acids are generally found in animal fats like butter, milk and dairy products. Because of the higher melting point of those fatty acids, they are generally found in solid state at reem temperature.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "2+".

Explanation:

A common procedure to test for the presence of antigens is to perform an agglutination reaction by performing an antibody screen. In an agglutination reaction that is graded 2+ the red blood cells start to be broken and medium-sized agglutinates are formed. In this reaction no red blood cells are free, only agglutinates are seen at the bottom of the microtubes. The characteristics of the reaction herein described concur with an agglutination reaction that is graded 2+.
