In the above figure, the solid line shows the dependence of the rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction v (μmol/min) as a function of the substrate concentration [S] (mM). Also shown (dotted line) is the dependence of the rate on substrate concentration in the presence of an inhibitor (at a concentration of 2 mM). On the basis of the graph shown, what type of an inhibition takes place? A) Mixed inhibition B) Non-competitive inhibition C) Uncompetitive inhibition D) Competitive inhibition

Which amino acid is most likely to be found on the interior of a globular protein? A) Aspartate B) Glycine C) Serine D) Cysteine
Carbonic anhydrase serves to convert carbon dioxide wastes,…
Carbonic anhydrase serves to convert carbon dioxide wastes, produced from cellular respiration, into bicarbonate. This bicarbonate buffers blood pH and allows for the transport of more carbon dioxide equivalents in the blood to the kidneys for excretion. The reaction catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase is: CO2 + H2O ⇌ HCO3- + H+ How would running, as compared to walking, change the pH of the blood if breathing rate remains constant? A) Blood pH will remain the same B) Increased blood Ph C) Decreased blood pH D) None of the above
