Answer:

D

Explanation:

The building blocks or monomers of proteins are called amino acids. There are 20 different kinds of amino acids. The amino acids form long chains that are proteins. Therefore, proteins are polymers of amino acids.

Proteins are very important for the body because they have many different roles. They provide structure for tissues, act as enzymes, hormones and antibodies, aid in transportation and fluid regulation.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. a polymer of amino acids.

How do lawmakers make good environmental decisions??
Sliva [168]
<h2>Answer : By weighing the costs and benefits of an environmental issue </h2><h3> Explanation :</h3>

The law makers usually conduct many studies before a law is imposed. They try to explore many other options available to the current environmental issue and then come to a conclusion to make a law.

They also weigh the cost aspect along with the benefit of the ongoing environmental issue. They try to come up with something which appears to be cost effective and result bearing.

sergeinik [125]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        V_{max} = 6.8 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min

          K_{m} = 5.2 \times 10^{-6} M

Now, according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics,

              V_{o} = V_{max} \times [\frac{S}{(S + Km)}]

where, S = substrate concentration = 10.4 \times 10^{-6} M

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

        V_{o} = V_{max} \times [\frac{S}{(S + Km)}]

        V_{o} = 6.8 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min \times [\frac{10.4 \times 10^{-6} M}{(10.4 \times 10^{-6}M + 5.2 \times 10^{-6} M)}]

            V_{o} = 6.8 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min \times 0.667

                              = 4.5 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min

This means that V_{o} would approache V_{max}.
