Answer: Option <em>a.</em>

Explanation:

Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion states:

<em>A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.</em>

It tells us that it doesn't matter how far Earth is from the Sun, at equal times, the area swept out by Earth's orbit it's always the same independently from the position in the orbit.

Which of the followings are true about Vmax? A. The higher the [enzyme], the higher the Vmax B. Vmax is proportional to k2 C. Vm
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Correct answer is A.

The higher the enzyme, the higher the Vmax

Explanation:

Although, in the absence of enzyme, the rate of a reaction(Vmax) increase linearly with substrate concentration. The reaction rate is given as dp/dt.

The rate of a reaction involving enzyme also increases.

At low enzyme concentrations or high substrate concentrations, all of the available enzyme active sites could be occupied with substrates. Therefore, increasing the substrate concentration further will not change the rate of diffusion. In other words, there is some maximum reaction rate (Vmax) when all enzyme active sites are occupied. The reaction rate will increase with increasing substrate concentration, but must asymptotically approach the saturation rate, Vmax. Vmax is directly proportional to the total enzyme concentration, E

LenKa [72]

Answer:

2.91 x 10¹² sec

Explanation:

d = distance of nearest star, Proxima Centauri  = 4.3 ly = 4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ m

v = speed of new horizon probe = 14 km/hr = 14000 m/s

t = time taken for the new horizon probe to reach nearest star, Proxima Centauri = ?

Using the equation

d = v t

Inserting the values given

4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ = (14000) t

t = 2.91 x 10¹² sec
