Answer and Explanation: In enzyme kinetics, one constant describing enzyme activity is <em>Maximal Velocity</em> (Vmax). It indicates how fast an enzyme can catalyze the reaction. It is dependent on substrate concentration.

As the muscle is an organ which needs a great amount of energy, the enzyme glycogen phosphorilase is very active on the organ, compared to the liver, where glicose is stored. So, the Vmax of glycogen phosphorylase expressed in muscle is faster than when expressed in the liver, means the enzyme in muscle has a bigger concentration of substrate and therefore will reach Vmax faster, i.e. will be significantly larger.

Bioflix activity: cellular respiration and photosynthesis -- energy flow can you identify how energy flows through an ecosystem?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Sun

Sun is the main source of energy on earth. About 40% light reach to the atmosphere some of which is filtered by ozone layers, water vapours and other gases. only 1% light is used in photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis

                         Producers contain chloroplast filled with chlorophyll molecules. when sunlight falls on leaves process of photosynthesis occurs which convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Respiration

                 Respiration occurs both in producers and consumers. in this process chemical energy (glucose) is converted into ATP, NADH and FADH2.

Decomposition

                  there are some organisms known as decompose s. they decompose dead bodies of plants and animals and convert complex molecules into simple nutrients with help of energy. in this way sun light energy is transferring in ecosystem in different forms.

During which phase of mitosis do the nuclear membrane, nucleolus, and nucleus dissolve? metaphase prophase anaphase telophase
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Prophase 
During the prophase stage of mitosis, the nucleus seems to disband itself. The nucleolus suspends itself and finally, the nuclear membrane disassembles itself. This is because of the undergoing process of copying and dividing. 
Mitosis is a functional cell dividing process that helps the cells repair or rejuvenate itself because of apoptosis and other factors.
