Answer:

The turnover number of the enzyme molecule bovine carbonic anhydrase = 67,272,727.27 s^–1.

Explanation:

Given:

The concentration of bovine carbonic anhydrase = total enzyme concentration = Et = 3.3 pmol⋅L^–1 = 3.3 × 10^–12 mol.L^–1

The maximum rate of reaction = Rmax (Vmax) = 222 μmol⋅L^–1⋅s^–1 = 222 × 10^–6 mol.L^–1⋅s^–1

The formula for the turnover number of an enzyme (kcat, or catalytic rate constant) = Rmax ÷ Et = 222 × 10^–6 mol.L^–1⋅s^–1 ÷ 3.3 × 10^–12 mol.L^–1 = 67,272,727.27 s^–1

Therefore, the turnover number of the enzyme molecule bovine carbonic anhydrase = 67,272,727.27 s^–1

I need a short written description of Newton's three laws.

Tom [10]

Newton’s first law of motion, also called the law on inertia, states that an object continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless compelled to change that state by an external force.Newton’s second law of motion states that if a net force acts on an object, it will cause an acceleration of that object.Newton’s third law of motion<span> states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. hope this wasnt two long!</span>

A person of mass 70 kg stands at the center of a rotating merry-go-round platform of radius 2.9 m and moment of inertia 900 kg⋅m

Cloud [144]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of person, m = 70 kg

Radius of merry go round, r = 2.9 m

The moment of inertia, $I_1=900\ kg.m^2$

Initial angular velocity of the platform, $\omega=0.95\ rad/s$

Part A,

Let $\omega_2$ is the angular velocity when the person reaches the edge. We need to find it. It can be calculated using the conservation of angular momentum as :

$I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2$

Here, $I_2=I_1+mr^2$

$I_1\omega_1=(I_1+mr^2)\omega_2$

$900\times 0.95=(900+70\times (2.9)^2)\omega_2$

Solving the above equation, we get the value as :

$\omega_2=0.574\ rad/s$

Part B,

The initial rotational kinetic energy is given by :

$k_i=\dfrac{1}{2}I_1\omega_1^2$

$k_i=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 900\times (0.95)^2$

$k_i=406.12\ rad/s$

The final rotational kinetic energy is given by :

$k_f=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_1+mr^2)\omega_1^2$

$k_f=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (900+70\times (2.9)^2)(0.574)^2$

$k_f=245.24\ rad/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A gas sample is confined within a chamber that has a movable piston. A small load is placed on the piston; and the system is all

timurjin [86]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total weight of the piston, W = F = 70 N

Area of the piston, $a=5\times 10^{-4}\ m^2$

Let P is the pressure exerted on the piston by the gas. The force per unit area is called the pressure exerted pressure of the gas. Mathematically, it is given by :

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$P=\dfrac{70\ N}{5\times 10^{-4}\ m^2}$

$P=1.4\times 10^5\ Pa$

We know that the atmospheric pressure is given by :

$P_o=1.013\times 10^5\ Pa$

So, the pressure is given by :

$p=P+P_o$

$p=1.4\times 10^5+1.013\times 10^5$

$p=2.41\times 10^5\ Pa$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Why does the area around the equator stay about the same temperature year round?

Verdich [7]

Axial Tilt and Sun Energy

This axial tilt means that during the Earth's journey around the sun the poles receive varying amounts of sunlight. The equator, however, receives relatively consistent sunlight all year. The consistency of energy means the equator's temperature stays relatively constant all year.
