Calcium carbonate contains the carbonate ion. Citric acid is an acid. When an acid reacts with a carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is one of the products. Carbon dioxide gas produces the fizzing effect in water.

When an acid reacts with a carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is one of the products.

If antacids are dissolved prior to ingestion, the reaction between carbonate and hydrogen is faster.

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

A local plant nursery uses large sprinklers to water the plants twice a day. the water contains phosphorus, which is a fertilize

Mumz [18]

Eutrophication

In an aged aquatic habitat like a lake, eutrophication is the progressive rise in the concentration of phosphorus, nitrogen, and other plant nutrients. As the volume of organic matter that can be converted into nutrients increases, the productivity or fertility of such an ecosystem also naturally rises.

<h3>What is Eutrophication ?</h3>

Eutrophication may be caused by a number of things, including overuse of fertilisers, untreated sewage, the use of phosphorous-containing detergents, and industrial waste discharge.

Eutrophication naturally. Natural eutrophication is a process that develops in water resources over a very long period of time as a result of a slow buildup of nutrients and organic waste. Anthropogenic or cultural eutrophication.
