Answer:

Pyramid is a good representation of energy flow in an ecosystem because the shape of pyramid is wider at the bottom and pointed at the top. In the ecosystem, population of plants are maximum so it is placed at the bottom of the pyramid while the organisms such as tertiary consumers are placed at the top of the pyramid due to low in population. So pyramid is a good representation.

A researcher synthesizes a new molecule called inhibitor X that inhibits the activity of phosphofructokinase (PFK), the enzyme t

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer : The dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex is, 5 µM

Explanation :

The expression for reversible competitive inhibition when apparent Km affected by addition of the inhibitor is:

$K_m_a=K_m[1+\frac{I}{K_i}]$

where,

$K_m_a$ = apparent value = 52 µM

$K_m$ = Michaelis–Menten constant = 40 µM

I = inhibitor concentration = 1.5 µM

$K_i$ = dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$52\mu M=40\mu M[1+\frac{1.5\mu M}{K_i}]$

$K_i=5\mu M$

Therefore, the dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex is, 5 µM
