Answer:

More mitochondria in athlete's muscle cells.

Explanation:

There is a significant difference in the muscle cell of an Olympic athlete as compared to an average adult because Olympic athlete has more number of mitochondria present in their muscles cells as compared to muscle cell of an average adult. The main reason for this is that Athlete performs harder activities so they required more energy to do their activities so their muscles cells have large number of mitochondria to provide more energy for their activities.

What are characteristics of allosteric enzymes?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

(B) They may have binding sites for regulatory molecules that are separate from active sites.

(C) They generally have more than one subunit.

(E) They interconvert between a more active form and a less active form.

Explanation:

Allosteric enzymes are the regulatory enzymes that have a specific site for binding of modulator or effector molecule. The activity of these enzymes is altered by the noncovalent binding of modulators at the allosteric site. The binding of the modulator brings about a conformational change in the allosteric enzymes.

The relatively inactive conformation of these enzymes is called T state while the active conformation is the R state. Most of the allosteric enzymes have multiple subunits and deviate from Michaelis–Menten kinetics and exhibit a sigmoid saturation curve of V0 vs. [S].

Defend the statement found in controversy that foods, not supplements are the best and safest form of phytochemicals.
Anika [276]

Answer:

The easiest argument is the next one:

Suppose phytochemicals are like money. If I put you in a phone cabin with a lot of money and give you 30 sec to be there collecting as much money as you can, at the end you will collect not all the money and a lot of money will be lost. The same happens whit phytochemicals in supplements there are so many that your body can't use them all.

And other thing is that phytochemicals in supplements comes so concentrated that your body will be overstimulated to take this phytochemicals and that changes your normal digestion, in the time it may looks good...but if you don't take supplements anymore, your body will feel the lost and the physical results would be awull.
