An allosteric protein demonstrates a decrease in its Kg for molecule Y as the concentration of molecule X increases. Based on th
djyliett [7]

Answer:

X is negative heterotropic modulator

Explanation:

In allosteric regulations, modulators are molecules that causes a change in the conformation of an enzyme, hence, resulting a change in enzyme activity. It can lead to a decrease or an increase of the enzyme.  When a molecule decreases the enzyme activity it called a negative modulator, when it increases or activates the enzyme activity, it is called a positive modulator.

A positive or negative modulator can either be homotrophic (substrate acts as modulator) or heterotropic (another ligand acts as modulator).

In the example above, X is negative heterotropic modulator, because the modulator is different from the substrate and it also decreases the enzyme activity.

Photosynthesis is the main method by which primary production takes place in an ecosystem. What abiotic factor is a beneficial b
Triss [41]
The significant abiotic by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. The main product of the process is glucose, which the plant uses as food. The general equation for photosynthesis is:

6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) = C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen)

It can be seen that plants are important to sustain life because they reduce the earth's carbon dioxide, and replace it with oxygen.
