A larger zone of inhibition means that the applied agent has either inhibited or killed the organisms that were spread on the plate and that those organisms are susceptible to that agent. In other words, a larger zone of inhibition means that the applied agent is more effective in killing/inhibiting the bacteria around it.

What are the two types of Feedback Inhibition?

In my understanding there are three types of feedback inhibition:SIMPLE: Enzyme inhibited by single end product.CUMULATIVE: More than one end product inhibits the same enzyme. That means that each product exerts partial inhibition and inhibition is cumulative.CONCERTED: More than one end product must bind the same enzyme simultaneously for any inhibition.I !


Is baby small intestine larger than an adults intestine?

No, a baby's small intestine is not larger than an adult's. In fact, the length of the small intestine remains relatively constant in individuals throughout their lifetime, with variations in diameter.


How does allosteric inhibition differ from competitive inhibition in terms of their mechanisms of action on enzymes?

Allosteric inhibition and competitive inhibition are two ways enzymes can be regulated. Allosteric inhibition occurs when a molecule binds to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity. Competitive inhibition, on the other hand, occurs when a molecule binds to the active site of the enzyme, blocking the substrate from binding and inhibiting the enzyme's activity. In summary, allosteric inhibition affects enzyme activity by binding to a site other than the active site, while competitive inhibition affects enzyme activity by binding to the active site directly.


How does competitive inhibition differ from allosteric inhibition in terms of their mechanisms of action on enzyme activity?

Competitive inhibition occurs when a molecule competes with the substrate for the active site of an enzyme, blocking its function. Allosteric inhibition, on the other hand, involves a molecule binding to a site other than the active site, causing a conformational change that inhibits enzyme activity.


What are the key differences between non-competitive inhibition and allosteric inhibition in enzyme regulation?

Non-competitive inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to an enzyme at a site other than the active site, changing the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity. Allosteric inhibition involves an inhibitor binding to a specific regulatory site on the enzyme, causing a conformational change that decreases enzyme activity. The key difference is that non-competitive inhibition does not compete with the substrate for the active site, while allosteric inhibition involves binding to a separate site on the enzyme.

How do small luxury hotels compare to larger hotels?

Small luxury hotels are more private than larger hotels therefore is preferred by those who can afford it. Larger hotels have better availability options than small luxury hotels, however, one can also book well in advance for the latter if need be.


Why are small cells better then large cells for moving materials through membranes?

small cells have a greater surface-to-volume ratio than larger cells.


Can a small horse have a big horse?

Small and Big are quite relative. Small horses can produce a foal that grows to be larger than either of the parents and crossing a larger horse with a small horse will tend to result offspring larger than the smaller parent animal but usually not larger than the largest parent.
