Answer:

The negatively charged rod will force a stream of water away from the rod because of the "attractive force. "

Explanation:

As we know that water molecules have been randomly arranged. So when a negatively charged rod is put near the stream of water, the molecules present in the water start rotating, unless the positive side will be close to the negative side of the rod. Which results in the generation of the attraction force. Hence, the stream of the water forces away the negatively charged rod. When the water molecules have polarized molecules in it the effect will be stronger than the dust.

Answer:

[S]<<KM | [S]=KM | [S]>>KM | Not true

____________ | Half of the active | Reaction rate is | Increasing

$[E_{free}]$ is about | sites are filled of | independent of | $[E_{Total}]$ will

equal to $[E_{total}]$ . | | [S] | lower KM

_____________________________________________|____________

[ES] is much | | Almost all active

lower than | | sites are filled

$[E_{free}]$ | |

Explanation:

Generally the combined enzyme $[ES]$ is mathematically represented as

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M + [S]}----(1)$

for Michaelis-Menten equation

Where $[S]$ is the substrate concentration and $K_M$ is the Michaelis constant

Considering the statement $[S] < < K_M$

Looking at the equation $[S]$ is denominator so it can be ignored(it is far too small compared to $K_M$ ) hence the above equation becomes

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M}$

Since $[S]$ is less than $K_M$ it means that $\frac{[S]}{K_M} < < 1$

so it means that $[ES] < < [E_{total}]$

What this means is that the number of combined enzymes $[ES]$ i.e the number of occupied site is very small compared to the the total sites $[E_{total}]$ i.e the total enzymes concentration which means that the free sites [ $E_{free}]$ i.e the concentration of free enzymes is almost equal to $[E_{total}]$

Considering the second statement

$[S] = K_M$

So this means that equation one would now become

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{2[S]} = \frac{[E_{total}]}{2}$

So this means that half of the active sites that is the total enzyme concentration are filled with S

Considering the Third Statement

$[S] >>K_M$

In this case the $K_M$ in the denominator of equation 1 would be neglected and the equation becomes

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}] [S]}{[S]} = [E_{total}]$

This means that almost all the sites are occupied with substrate

The rate of this reaction is mathematically defined as

$v =\frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_M [S]}$

Where v is the rate of the reaction(also know as the velocity of the reaction at a given time t) and $V_{max}$ is he maximum velocity of the reaction

In this case also the $K_M$ at the denominator would be neglected as a result of the statement hence the equation becomes

$v = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{[S]} = V_{max}$

So it means that the reaction does not depend on the concentration of substrate [S]

For the final statement(Not True ) it would match with condition that states that increasing $[E_{total}]$ will lower $K_M$

This is because $K_M$ does not depend on enzyme concentration it is a property of a enzyme

Which of the following leads to a higher rate of diffusion?

tiny-mole [99]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher velocity of particles

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The diffusion rate is determined by a variety of factors which includes;

Temperature such that the higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly and the diffusion rate will be high.
Concentration gradient such that the greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion.
Higher velocity of particles increases the diffusion rate as this means more kinetic energy by the particles and hence the particles will mix and move faster, thus higher diffusion rate.
