Answer:

The Photosynthesis process

Explanation:

Plants, algae, and some other organisms can transform the sunlight energy into chemical energy. The photosynthesis process occur thanks to the chloroplasts. The chloroplast is an organelle found in all green plants. Inside of the chloroplast you can find the thylakoids which are arranged in stacks named grana, they have membranes with chloropyll a photosynthetic pigment, also you can find the photosystems, they are functional and structural units of protein complexes. The thylakoids capture the light and allow the reactions to transform CO2. The set of reactions that occurs in the chloroplasts are known as the Calvin cycle.

The general equation of photosynthesis is:

$6 CO_{2} + 6 H_{2} O + Energy -> C_{6} H_{12} 12O_{6} + 6 O_{2}$

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Carbon Dioxide + water + Light -> Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen

After, this glucose is transformed into pyruvate, and it allowed the release of denosine triphosphate (ATP) by cellular respiration. The ATP is an organic chemical that is requires for the cell to perform any process (any kind or work).

Which physical state of nitrogen has the highest entropy? (1 point) solid liquid gas vapor?

Tju [1.3M]

Answer is. gas <span>has the highest entropy.
</span>Entropy is the measure of the molecular disorder<span> and it is system’s thermal </span>energy<span> per unit </span>temperature<span> that is unavailable for doing useful </span>work<span>.
Nitrogen molecules have weakest intermolecular bonds in gas phase and move fast and without order. In solid state movement is much more less.

nika2105 [10]

1. Double replacement (DR)

2. Decomposition (D)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

1. Al2(SO4)3 + Ca3(PO4)2 -> 2AIPO4 + 3CaSO4

Double replacement (DR) : there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

General form :

AB + CD -> AD + CB

2. 2NaCIO3 → 2NaCl + 3O2

Decomposition (D) : Reactant breakdown into simpler ones(reverse of combination)

General form :

AB ---> A + B

Select the missing words to complete the definition of buffer capacity. Buffer capacity is the _____________ of acid or base a b

horsena [70]

Answer:

amount, pH value.

Explanation:

The buffer range is the pH range in which the buffer performs optimally, i.e., neutralizes even when a strong acid or base is introduced to it and resists any major change in its pH value.

The buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base that can be added before the pH of the buffer solution changes significantly.

Thus, the final statement becomes,

Buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base a buffer can handle before pushing the pH value outside of the buffer range.

Answer:

[S]<<KM | [S]=KM | [S]>>KM | Not true

____________ | Half of the active | Reaction rate is | Increasing

$[E_{free}]$ is about | sites are filled of | independent of | $[E_{Total}]$ will

equal to $[E_{total}]$ . | | [S] | lower KM

_____________________________________________|____________

[ES] is much | | Almost all active

lower than | | sites are filled

$[E_{free}]$ | |

Explanation:

Generally the combined enzyme $[ES]$ is mathematically represented as

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M + [S]}----(1)$

for Michaelis-Menten equation

Where $[S]$ is the substrate concentration and $K_M$ is the Michaelis constant

Considering the statement $[S] < < K_M$

Looking at the equation $[S]$ is denominator so it can be ignored(it is far too small compared to $K_M$ ) hence the above equation becomes

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M}$

Since $[S]$ is less than $K_M$ it means that $\frac{[S]}{K_M} < < 1$

so it means that $[ES] < < [E_{total}]$

What this means is that the number of combined enzymes $[ES]$ i.e the number of occupied site is very small compared to the the total sites $[E_{total}]$ i.e the total enzymes concentration which means that the free sites [ $E_{free}]$ i.e the concentration of free enzymes is almost equal to $[E_{total}]$

Considering the second statement

$[S] = K_M$

So this means that equation one would now become

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{2[S]} = \frac{[E_{total}]}{2}$

So this means that half of the active sites that is the total enzyme concentration are filled with S

Considering the Third Statement

$[S] >>K_M$

In this case the $K_M$ in the denominator of equation 1 would be neglected and the equation becomes

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}] [S]}{[S]} = [E_{total}]$

This means that almost all the sites are occupied with substrate

The rate of this reaction is mathematically defined as

$v =\frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_M [S]}$

Where v is the rate of the reaction(also know as the velocity of the reaction at a given time t) and $V_{max}$ is he maximum velocity of the reaction

In this case also the $K_M$ at the denominator would be neglected as a result of the statement hence the equation becomes

$v = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{[S]} = V_{max}$

So it means that the reaction does not depend on the concentration of substrate [S]

For the final statement(Not True ) it would match with condition that states that increasing $[E_{total}]$ will lower $K_M$

This is because $K_M$ does not depend on enzyme concentration it is a property of a enzyme
