The Michaelis constant for pancreatic lipase is 5 mM. At 60 C, lipase is subject to deactivation with a half-life of 8 min. Fat

hydrolysis is carried out in a well-mixed batch reactor that simulates a top-loading washing machine. The initial fat concentration is 45 gmol m23. At the beginning of the reaction, the rate of hydrolysis is 0.07 mmol l21 s21. How long does it take for the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present?

Explanation:

According to the given data, we will calculate the following.

 Half life of lipase t_{1/2} = 8 min x 60 s/min

                                       = 480 s

Rate constant for first order reaction is as follows.

         k_{d} = \frac{0.6932}{480}

                        = 1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}


Initial fat concentration S_{o} = 45 mol/m^{3}

                                                = 45 mmol/L

Rate of hydrolysis V_m_{o} = 0.07 mmol/L/s

Conversion X = 0.80

Final concentration (S) = S_{o} (1 - X)

                                      = 45 (1 - 0.80)

                                      = 9 mol/m^{3}

or,                                  = 9 mmol/L

It is given that K_{m} = 5mmol/L

Therefore, time taken will be calculated as follows.

                    t = -\frac{1}{K_{d}}ln[1 - \frac{K_{d}}{V}{K_{M} ln (\frac{S_{o}}{S}) + (S_{o} - S)]

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

            t = -\frac{1}{K_{d}}ln[1 - \frac{K_{d}}{V}{K_{M} ln (\frac{S_{o}}{S}) + (S_{o} - S)]  

             = -\frac{1}{1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}ln[1 - \frac{1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}{0.07 mmol/L/s
}{K_{M} ln (\frac{45 mmol/L
}{9 mmol/L
}) + (45 mmol/L - 9 mmol/L
)]

              = 1642.83 s \times \frac{1 min}{60 sec}

              = 27.38 min

Therefore, we can conclude that time taken by the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present is 27.38 min.

The light reactions of photosynthesis use _____ and produce _____. The light reactions of photosynthesis use _____ and produce _
SashulF [63]
<h2>Input = NADP^+, water and Output = NADPH + O_2</h2>

Explanation:

The light reactions of photosynthesis use water and produce Oxygen, NADPH.

The equation for photosynthesis :

6 CO_2 + 6 H_2O → C_6H_12O_6 + 6 O_2

The process of photosynthesis in two stages -

  • The first stage is called the light reaction in which the light energy from the sun is captured and converted into chemical energy stored in the form of ATP and NADPH
  • The second stage is the process of conversion of ATP molecules to sugar or glucose (the Calvin Cycle)

For a light reaction -

Net Input is of, NADP^+, Light, Water, ADP

Net Output is of, ATP, NADPH, O_2

What was one main point of Dalton's atomic theory?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

C. That atoms made up the smallest form of matter

Explanation:

The crux of the Dalton's atomic theory is that atoms are the smallest form of matter. He propositioned that atoms is an indivisible particle and beyond an atom, no form of matter exists.

Series of discoveries through time have greatly shaped the Dalton's atomic theory. The discovery of cathode rays by J.J Thomson in 1897 opened up the atom. Atoms were now seen to be made up of some negatively charged particles. Ernest Rutherford through his gold foil experiment proposed the nuclear model of the atom.

Why is this flower able to self-pollinate
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

A flower is self-pollinated if pollen is transferred to it from any flower of the same plant and cross-pollinated if the pollen comes from a flower on a different plant.

Explanation:

This is because each flower is capable of fertilizing itself by autogamy. Autogamy means that the male part of a flower sends pollen to the female part of the same flower.

What is the difference between intermolecular forces and intramolecular forces
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule. Intermolecular forces are forces that exist between molecules.

Explanation:

Examples: Intermolecular forces are categorized into dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding forces.

Intramolecular forces are categorized into covalent, ionic and metal bonds
