At 8.4 torr myoglobin will be 75% saturated with oxygen.

Calculation :

P50 is the partial pressure of the system.To achieve 50% saturation of oxygen to bind to myoglobin , the partial pressure needed is P50

P50 =2.8 torr

so, Mb+ O2 = MbO2

K= [Mb] [O2]/[MbO2]......................(1)

Yo2 ( fractional saturation of myoglobin )

Yo2=[MbO2]/[Mb]+[MbO2]..........................(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

we get Yo2= [O2]/K+[O2]= Po2 /K+ Po2

i)Yo2= 50% =2.8/K+2.8

0.5= 2.8/k +2.8

So, K= 2.8

ii) 75 % = [O2]/K+[O2]= [O2]/2.8+ [O2] = 8.4

Therefore, the oxygen concentration will be 8.4 torr.

netineya [11]

Answer:

The complementary base pair is ATG  TTT   GTG   ATA TGG  CGC  ATT  TAC   TAA  

Explanation:

As per the complementary base pairing rule of DNA

C pairs with G and vice versa

A pairs with T (in DNA) or U (in RNA)

Breaking the given strand into triplets, we get -

TAC  AAA  CAC  TAT  ACC  GCG  TAA  ATG  ATT

What is free nitrogen?
UNO [17]

Answer:

Nitrogen thet cannot be used by organisms. C.

Explanation:

Free nitrogen is simply molecular nitrogen (N2). Nitrogen, in its molecular form, consists of two nitrogen atoms bound together with a tripple bond. Because it is very stable, N2 is typically nonreactive, and takes a lot of energy to break them apart. Among these are the amino acids necessary for life to begin and which are the building blocks DNA is made from. Basically, any nitrogen that is in an organic compound is considered “fixed” nitrogen and N2 is considered to be “free” nitrogen

Identify which two of Koch's postulates would most likely not be fulfilled when trying to link a human virus to a particular dis
hammer [34]

Answer:

 A) & B)

Explanation:

A) There are certain viruses that are present in both healthy and disease people.

Example: Polio virus is found in many human but it causes disesease in only 1% of human.

B) Viruses require host machinery for replication so they may not replicate in pure culture.

The postulate C is also violated, the virus may not produce disease in non-human experimental host because of inappropriate animal or vaccinated animal etc. Others exception includes, the same disease may be caused by various organisms and different organisms can also cause the same disease.

Plant cells, unlike animal cells, are characterized by the presence of a ________.
expeople1 [14]

B. Cell wall and a central vacuole

The cell wall is a rigid structure that surrounds the cells and allows plants to stay upright.  Animal cells are more fluid.

The central vacuole is a large region in the cell that stores nutrients and fluids.  Many cells, including animal cells, contain vacuoles, but most are small, and only plant cells contain large central vacuoles.

Hope this helps!!
