Answer:

Spirometry is a type of pulmonary function test (PFT), a noninvasive procedure that provides important information about how well the lungs are working. More specifically, it reveals how much air is moving through the lungs and how quickly as you breathe through a tube.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Places with latitudes closer to the Equator have hotter climates. Places with latitudes closer to the Poles have colder climates. This happens because the Sun's rays hit them more or less directly.

The Sun powers life on Earth; it helps keep the planet warm enough for us to survive.

An enzyme that follows simple michaelis–menten kinetics has an initial reaction velocity of 10 μmol⋅min−1 when the substrate con
svet-max [94.6K]

The Vmax of the enzyme is 12 μmol⋅min−1

We use Michaelis-menten equation,  which is given by;

V=\frac{Vmax(S)}{Km+(S)} \\

Where v is velocity of reaction

Vmax = maximum rate achieved by the system

[S] = concentration of a substrate

K_{m}= Michaelis constant

Given V_{0} = 10umolmin^{-1}

[S] = 5km

Now, we calculate Vmax:

10umolmin^{-1} = \frac{Vmax*(5Km)}{Km+5Km}

Km = 1

10=\frac{5KmVmax}{6Km}

\frac{10*6}{5} =Vmax

Vmax =12 μmol⋅min−1

Complete the flowchart to identify the process by which blue-light photoreceptors and auxin control phototropism in plants.
DaniilM [7]
In plant seeds, the photoreceptor phytochrome is responsible for the process termed photomorphogenesis<span>. This occurs when a seed initially situated in an environment of complete darkness is exposed to light. A brief exposure to electromagnetic radiation, particularly that whose wavelength is within the red and far-red lights, results in the activation of the photorecepter phytochrome within the seed. This in turn sends a signal through the signal transduction pathway into the nucleus, and triggers hundreds of genes responsible for growth and development</span>
