The correct answer is "coarctation of the aorta". In coarctation of the aorta, there is an abnormal narrowing of the aorta, most commonly in the abdominal aorta, which compromises blood flow from going into the lower extremities. Patients with coarctation of the aorta most commonly presents with tachypnea as this is a high pressure congenital heart defect which makes breathing harder for the baby; diminished femoral pulses and poor lower body perfusion as the narrowing compromises blood flow. In physical examination, there will be a narrow ankle-brachial index, or the difference between the pulse pressures of the ankle (lower extremity) and the brachium (upper extremity).

<h3>Answer:</h3><h2>Coarctation of the aorta.</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

This is a medical condition in which the aorta, the largest blood vessel that leaves the heart, contracts. This blood vessel is tasked with carrying oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Also known as Aortic narrowing, this medical condition can be identified by symptoms like tachypnea, diminished femoral pulses, and poor lower body perfusion.

The kcat for Rubisco is 3 sec-1 How long does it takeone<br> subunit of Rubisco to do one reaction.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

A subunit of Rubisco takes approximately 0.33 s to perform one reaction

Explanation:

The kcat it's a kinetic first order constant that related the properties of the enzyme substrate complexes in a mechanisms and represents the overall first order process of the transformation of the substrate-enzyme complex into product.

Also kcat can be seen as the turnover number of an enzyme, representing the maximum number of substrate molecules that the enzyme can transform into product per time unit and per active site.

If the kcat is 3 s^-1, it means Rubisco can catalyse the transformation of 3 substrate molecules per second.

So, the time that takes a single reaction, should be the inverse of kcat.

To see it more clearly, the time needed for a single reaction is the time observed divided by the number of reactions done during that time.

In other words:

3 reactions ----------- 1 s

1 reaction -------------- x

  • x=1 reaction/3 reactions.s^-1 = 1/kcat = 1/3 s ~ 0.33 s

So the time that takes one Rubisco subunit to do one reaction is approximately 0.33 s

What biome receives the least rainfall
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

deserts

Desert biomes are the driest of all the biomes. In fact, the most important characteristic of a desert is that it receives very little rainfall. Most deserts receive less than 300 mm a year compared to rainforests, which receive over 2,000 mm.

Describe maximum parsimony.
Burka [1]

Maximum Thrift is a method / philosophy that considers the shortest tree (in number of transformation steps) the best hypothesis about the phylogenetic relationship of a given set of terminals. Transformation step is the cost attributed to the change of character state in a given branch of the tree, be it the change from one nucleotide base to another, amino acids, or the color of an animal's iris. The fewer transformations, the shorter the tree, and therefore the more parsimonious.  In this method, what programs do is to investigate as many alternative topologies as possible (or all if their array has less than 25 terminals; see more details below) given their character array. Each will be measured, and the shorter (optimal) trees will be retained as the most parsimonious result.

How energy from the sun becomes thermal energy on earth
torisob [31]
Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to earth from the sun is in the form of visible light. Light is made of waves of different frequencies.  

Hope this helps :)
