Answer:

Arachidonic acids

Explanation:

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are drugs used due to their analgesic, anti-inflammatory effects.

It inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme that takes part in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane (TX) and the production of eicosanoids.

Eicosanoids are made by the enzymatic or non-enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid or from other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are close to arachidonic acid which are 20 carbon units in length.

They are important cell signaling molecules that inhibit inflammation, allergy, fever,regulate abortion of pregnancy and normal childbirth, regulating cell growth.

Explain why a lock and key are used to describe the way in which an enzyme works. Describe any ways in which the
LiRa [457]
The lock an key analogy is used because each enzyme has specific substrates that fit into it. This is like how locks only work with a specific key. The enzyme is the lock and the substrates are the key.
2
This analogy is not perfect because there are often multiple substrates for each enzyme reaction. It only takes one key to turn the lock. The reaction is also taking place between the substrates themselves and not the enzyme. In the lock and key analogy, the lock is affected by the key, but in an enzyme reaction, the substrates are affected by the enzyme.

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The correct answer is The process of photosynthesis is energy storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy which stored in the bonds of glucose.

Explanation:

During photosynthesis the light harvesting complexes absorb sunlinght and transfer that light energy to the reaction centre of photosystem.The photosystem then converts the light energy into chemical energy in form of ATP.

      The ATP molecules are used along with NADPH to form glucose in the dark reaction of photosynthesis.
