Answer:

e) Substrate

Explanation:

An enzyme substrate binds to the enzymes active site which speeds up a reaction, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. Enzyme catalyzes the reaction and form a product from a specific substrate resulting in an enzyme-product complex. They are highly specific and each can only catalyze and bind to its own specific substrate or reactant.

Eg; Starch is a substrate (reactant) which is converted to maltose!(Product) by amylase enzyme.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

d. more permeable to sodium ions.

Explanation:

The binding of Acetylcholine  with the receptors at  motor end plate facilitate   membrane permeability to sodium ions therefore  opening of voltage gated channels for sodium ions.

Sodium ions diffused into the synapse of post synaptic neuron at the neuromuscular junction.

If  the  stimulus is up to threshold levels; more chemical(neurotransmitter) gated sodium channels opens, and sodium ions move into the  synapse to depolarize the membrane with  reversal of charges to generate action potential.

The continuous  binding of Acetycholine , leads to permanent opening of sodium ions,and over excitation from depolarization.  Acetycholinesterase enzymes breakdown Acetycholine to choline  and Acetyl Co -A. These are recycle back to Acetycholiine

What is the mechanism(s) that bordetella pertussis uses to invade epithelial cells in the lungs?
MaRussiya [10]

The mechanism of action of  Bordetella pertussis is to stop the cilia of epithelial cells from beating.

<em>Bordetella pertussis</em> is a pathogenic, gram-negative bacteria. It is the causative agent of highly communicable respiratory disease known as pertussis or whooping cough.

The mechanism of action of  Bordetella pertussis:

  • This bacterium colonizes the ciliated epithelial cells of the respiratory airways of the host.
  • A surface protein on the bacteria called filamentous haemagglutinin adhesin binds to sulfatides on the cilia of epithelial cells. When the bacterium is anchored, it releases tracheal cytotoxin, which prevents the cilia from beating.
  • As a result, the cilia in an organism's lungs are unable to sweep out foreign material, and the body reacts by causing the host to cough. When people cough, bacteria are released into the air, where they might spread to other hosts.
  • Another toxin called the pertussis toxin, often known as PTx, prevents adenylate cyclase from using ATP to convert to cyclic AMP. This results in over-conversion of  ATP to cyclic AMP, which may interfere with cellular signaling systems. As a result, phagocytes are unable to respond to an infection effectively.
