Biological muscle cells can be thought of as nanomotors that use the chemical energy of ATP to produce mechanical work. Measurem

ents show that the active proteins within a muscle cell (such as myosin and actin) can produce a force of about 8.0 pN and displacements of 8.0 nm. How much work is done by such proteins?

Answer:

The answer is 6.4 × 10^{-20} Joules

Explanation:

This question wants to effectively test your knowledge of the names of the negative powers of 10, so first of all, before calculating, let me explain what each of the symbols in the units given in the question means:

Force = 8.0 pN = 8.0 × 10^{-12} N

displacement = 8.0 nm = 8.0 × 10^{-9} N

Now let us calculate the work.

work = Force × Displacement

work = 8.0 × 10^{-12}  × 8.0 × 10^{-9} = 64 × 10^{-21}

= 6.4 × 10^{20} Joules (in standard form)

The greater the attractive forces between substrate and enzyme, that enzyme is said to have a higher ________ for the substrate
Marat540 [252]

The greater the attractive forces between substrate and enzyme, that

enzyme is said to have a higher affinity for the substrate.

<h3>What is an Enzyme?</h3>

This is a substance which acts as a catalyst in regulating the biochemical

processes of the body.

Enzymes are substrate-specific which means they act only on some types

of compounds. For example the enzyme protease acts only on protein.

When the attractive forces between substrate and enzyme is great then

the enzyme is said to have a higher affinity for the substrate.

To help sort out those bacteria that have the vgp gene, scientists first attempt to grow the bacteria both in a medium with ampi
ella [17]
Bacteria with no plasmid will ONLY grow in medium without ampicillin. This is because bacteria without any plasmid do not have the gene for ampicillin resistance (ampR). Therefore they can only survive and grow in medium without ampicillin.
Bacteria with nonrecombinant plasmid will grow in both media.According to the image, this type of bacteria has the gene for ampicillin resistance (ampR) in their plasmid. Therefore, they are not affected by the presence of ampicillin in their environment and they can grow in both media.
Bacteria with recombinant plasmid but no vgp gene will grow in both media. These bacteria also have the gene for ampicillin resistance in their plasmid, therefore they can survive and grow in both media.
Bacteria with recombinant plasmid with vgp gene will grow in both media. These bacteria, apart from having the vgp gene in their plasmid, they also have the gene for ampicillin resistance. The vgp gene does not affect the expression of the ampR gene, therefore these bacteria are also ampicillin resistant.
