Answer:

The five categories of vertebral column are:

  1. Cervical
  2. Thoracic
  3. Lumbar
  4. sacrum
  5. coccyx.

Explanation:

The 26 vertebrae of the spine or vertebral column are classified into five categories based on the structural differences between them. The first category is cervical and is made of seven cervical vertebrae. The spines of cervical vertebrae are shorter than that of others and have bifurcations.  

The next category is the thoracic and is made of twelve thoracic vertebrae. Thoracic vertebrae are followed by lumbar region made up of 5 lumbar vertebrae. Spines of thoracic vertebrae are longer and are directed downwards while that of the lumbar vertebrae project towards the posterior region. the sacrum is present below the lumbar region and consists of five fused sacral vertebrae. The last category of spine is coccyx. It has four fused coccygeal vertebrae.

Which statement most accurately explains how allosteric regulation can change an enzyme's catalytic activity? View Available Hin
Digiron [165]

Answer:

In allosteric inhibition, a regulatory molecule binds to a location other than the active site, resulting in a change in enzyme shape that allows the active site to bind substrate.

Explanation:

Allosteric regulation of an enzyme can be positive or negative, but it always involves effector molecules that bind to non-active site of the enzyme and change its conformation. That site of binding is called allosteric or regulatory site. If the enzyme activity is enhanced effector molecule is called allosteric activator but if the activity is decreased effector molecules are allosteric inhibitors.
