You are studying a metabolic enzyme that is found in organisms living at extremely high temperatures and an acidic environment.

You carry out your reactions on your lab bench at room temperature in water and find that the reaction is quite slow, even though you are able to reach a Vmax. Which of the following is not a good way to increase the rate of the reaction?
A) Add more enzyme to the reaction.
B) Increase substrate concentration.
C) Decrease the pH of the reaction solution.
D) Increase the temperature.

Answer:

B) Increase substrate concentration.

Explanation:

As the organism is living in environment with high temprature and (acidic) low pH the enzymes are affected as follows :

<u>Increased Temprature : </u>Initially the rate of reaction increase (10 degrees rise in T causes 50 to 100% rise in activity of enzyme)  but ultimately over the period of time enzymes become denatured , hence they cannot stimulate the rate of reaction even if the substrates are added.

<u>Effect of pH: </u>pH is the factor of stability of the enzymes but if the pH becomes extremely low or high the activity of enzymes is affected in such a way resulting in complete loss of activity of enzyme hence addtion of substrates can't increase the activity.

Thus among the given options , option B is the right choice as the increase in the substrate won't increase the activity of the enzyme as they are already denatured.

Answer:

Increasing the substrate concentration.

Explanation:

Increasing the substrate concentration can increase the rate of the reaction to a certain point. However, once all of the enzymes bounded to the substrate, any further addition of it will not be going to affect or increase the rate of the reaction at all, as all the enzymes will be saturated and working in their maximum rates.

Create an explicit equation for each recursively-defined sequence below.
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

  t(n) = 3·5^(n-1)

Explanation:

The recursive formula describes a sequence in which each term is 5 times the one before it. This is a geometric sequence with common ratio 5 and a first term that is said to be 3.

As you know, the generic formula for a geometric sequence is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

For a1 = 3, r = 5, and a sequence named "t", this is ...

  t(n) = 3·5^(n-1)

Explain how homeostasis and metabolism are interrelated
balandron [24]
Homeostasis is the upkeep of a steady interior condition. In the Biology setting, it implies a consistent body condition, for instance, steady body temperature, blood glucose level. Metabolism alludes to the responses that occur in the body which enables life to be kept up. You need digestion occurring keeping in mind the end goal to look after homeostasis.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The weather and time do affect crime. The time of day, like late at night, is when most crimes occur. Since it's dark out, the criminal won't be seen as easily compared to during the day. Crime also spikes during warm weather since it seems to be easier for the criminal.
