Answer:

Penicillin, direct

Explanation:

this scientist has to inoculate the parent population using plates that contains penicillin in them. we call this approach the direct selection.

In the direct selection, bacteria is grown on a material that has penicillin in it. the goal is to find mutants that have resistance to penicillin. only these resistant ones would grow and then a direct identification would be done.

Increasing the substrate concentration in an enzymatic reaction could overcome which of the following?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

(C) Competitive inhibition

Explanation:

When a substrate competes with and inhibitor, what they are actually doing is competing by the active site of the enzyme. In terms of probabilities, when there is much more of one molecule of X than its competitor Y, it is more likely for any of the molecules of X to reach the active site of the enzyme than for any of the molecules of Y.

Then is one would like to reduce the effects of an inhibitor reversible bonded to an enzyme, one possibility is to increase the concentration of a substrate (which in turn means that there will be a higher relative number of its molecules in the media), increasing the probability to meet the active site of the enzyme and as a result displacing the inhibitor (assuming it not increased as well).
