The Vmax of the enzyme is 12 μmol⋅min−1

We use Michaelis-menten equation,  which is given by;

V=\frac{Vmax(S)}{Km+(S)} \\

Where v is velocity of reaction

Vmax = maximum rate achieved by the system

[S] = concentration of a substrate

K_{m}= Michaelis constant

Given V_{0} = 10umolmin^{-1}

[S] = 5km

Now, we calculate Vmax:

10umolmin^{-1} = \frac{Vmax*(5Km)}{Km+5Km}

Km = 1

10=\frac{5KmVmax}{6Km}

\frac{10*6}{5} =Vmax

Vmax =12 μmol⋅min−1

How does temperature affect the amount of carbon dioxide that yeast cells produce
raketka [301]

Yeasts will grow over a temperature range of 10°-37°C (50°-98.6°F), with an optimal temperature range of 30°-37°C (86°-98.6°F), depending on the type of species. There is little activity in the range of 0°-10°C. Above 37°C yeast cells become stressed and will not divide properly. Most yeast cells die above 50°C (122°F).

How are all cells similar?
Vlad1618 [11]

Although cells are diverse, all cells have certain parts in common. The parts include a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA. The plasma membrane (also called the cell membrane) is a thin coat of lipids that surrounds a cell.

Hope it helps ^^

cluponka [151]

The p53 protein is known as the guardian of the genome because this protein prevents errors during DNA replication. It is a tumor suppressor gene.

<h3>Tumor suppressor genes </h3>

Tumor suppressor genes are genes that play fundamental cellular roles and prevent cell uncontrolled growth.

A tumor suppressor gene can repair errors that occurred during DNA replication, slow down the cycle of cell division, trigger programmed cell death, etc.

The p53 acts to control cell division and cell death, thereby avoiding the emergence of cancer cells.

What is the basic formula for monosaccharides and how is the shape determined?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Monosaccharides are simple sugars with a basic formula Cⁿ (H2O)ⁿ. They are classified according to the number of carbon atoms they contain: tetroses (4), pentoses (5) and hexoses (6). There are also mosaccharides with 3 carbon atoms, for example the Dihydroxyacetone.

Explanation:

Monosaccharides have to be aldehydes (-CHO) or ketones (-COO) with more than one alcohol function, which will be located in different carbons.
