Explanation:
it is comprised of hormones that regulate physiological function
Some of these can easily be eliminated by knowing that both nitrogen 14 and nitrogen 15 are isotopes ( same element, with the same amount of protons, but with different numbers of neutrons) of nitrogen. So if the only difference between nitrogen 14, 15 , and regular nitrogen is the amount of neutrons...how many protons and electrons should both nitrogen 14 and 15 have? After thinking, you should be able to eliminate A, B,and C.
Answer:
Ethanol is most likely to be a (B), competitive inhibitor.
Explanation:
The poisoing occurs because of the harmful metabolites produced by the alcohol dehydrogenases, enzymes in charge of breaking down alcohol.
Hence, the most likely strategy of an antidote is to compete for the active site of the enzyme and prevent the methanol convertion to harmful chemicals.
Ethanol does not produce these metabolites and it is preferentially proccessed by the body, so it is a competitive inhibitor, competing for the active site.
