alisha [4.7K]3 years ago
3 0
The lock and key model is where the substrate has a specific shape which can fit into the specific shape of the active site of the enzyme, just like how a key has a specific shape which can fit into a specific lock.

In other words, the substrate is complementary (same shape) to a specific enzyme, so the substrate can bind/fit to the enzyme.

Which of the following correctly matches the equilibrium receptor organs to the type of equilibrium it monitors?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Option B,  maculae/static equilibrium

Explanation:

The specialized sensory receptors of the macula are located in the utricle and saccule and are responsible for detecting the static equilibrium through their hair cells. The hair cells have large number of stereocilia and one single kinocilium which detects the movement of otolithic membrane caused by the release of calcium carbonate. The otolithic membrane moves up and down and to and fro.

ddd [48]

Answer:

1. Endocrine

2. Exocrine

Explanation:

The pancreas serves as both endocrine and exocrine gland.  

The pancreas is an exocrine gland as the pancreatic acini produce digestive enzymes that are delivered to the small intestine through a network of ducts. The glands that release their secretions by ducts are called exocrine glands.  

Islets of Langerhans scattered among pancreatic acini serve the endocrine part of the pancreas. The alpha cells of pancreatic islets secrete hormone glucagon while the beta cells of the islets secrete the hormone insulin directly in the bloodstream. Likewise, the delta cells of pancreatic islets secrete hormone somatostatin. The ductless glands that release their secretions directly into the bloodstream are known as endocrine glands.
