Answer:
Penicillin is hydrolyzed and thereby rendered inactive by penicillinase (also known as β-lactamase), an enzyme present in some resistant bacteria. the mass of this enzyme in staphylococcus aureus is 29.6 kd. the amount of penicillin hydrolyzed in 1 minute in a 10-ml solution containing 10-9 g of purified penicillinase was measured as a function of the concentration of penicillin. assume that the concentration of penicillin does not change appreciably during the assay. penicillin(μm) amount hydrolyzed(nmol) 1 0.11 3 0.25 5 0.34 10 0.45 30 0.58 50 0.61 (a) plot v0 versus [s] and 1/v0 versus 1/[s] for these data. does penicillinase appear to obey michaelis-menten kinetics? if so, what is the value of km? (b) what is the value of vmax? (c) what is the turnover number of penicillinase under these experimental conditions? assume one active site per enzyme molecule.
Explanation:
Answer:
The respiratory system enables oxygen to enter the body and carbon dioxide to leave the body.
<span>Nudation is the process wherein an ecological system experiences new growth after a major event. Given that a drought killed all of the plants in the farmland and the wind and birds moved new plants into the now barren area, this is an ecological succession.</span>
I'd say agriculture, though in more recent years you could argue for mining.
Enzymes serve to speed up reactions by lowering the energy of activation, the amount of energy needed to begin a reaction.
