Answer:

1,2 and 4 are correct

Explanation:

Enzymes that show cooperativity are defined as Allosteric enzymes. This cooperativity is of several types.

1) homotropic/homoallestery - positive cooperation

2) heterotropic/heteroallestery - negative cooperation

Activity of allosteric enzymes is regulated by other molecules (effector molecules)

Hence, statement 1 and 2 are correct.

Binding curve of allosteric enzymes:

For cooperative binding, binding curve is Sigmoidal curve

For non cooperative binding, binding curve is Hyperboilc curve.

Hence, statement 3 is wrong.

Allosteric enzymes have multiple active sites.

Allosteric enzymes are often multi sub unit proteins.

Hence, statement 4 is correct.

Equal volumes of H2 and O2 are placed in a balloon and then ignited. Assuming that the reaction goes to completion, which gas wi

Sonbull [250]

Answer: Oxygen

Explanation:

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

As seen from the balanced equation:

2 moles of hydrogen combine with 1 mole of oxygen or 1 mole of hydrogen combine with 1/2 mole of oxygen.

According to Avogadro's law, equal volumes of gases contain equal number of molecules and hence equal number of moles.

Thus if x moles of both gases are present, x moles of hydrogen will combine with $\frac{x}{2}$ moles of oxygen and $x-\frac{x}{2}=\frac{x}{2}$ moles of oxygen will be left used and will be in excess.

Describe Chemical and physical changes of ice water placed in the refrigerator

Talja [164]

So in a chemical change, the product would loses its properties, would form new products and would not be easily reversed.

In a physical change, the products WILL NOT lose any of their properties, WILL NOT form any new products and WILL be easily reversed.

Talking about Water turning to ice I would say it’s all about physical change and not chemical change.
But I would suggest you to either make a research about it or ask your teacher :))

If matter is neither created nor destroyed, why can’t we just go directly from grams of reactant to grams of product?

algol [13]

Not all matter in the reactant goes to the product. Some matter is byproducts.
