What is evidence of the dynamo theory?

1 answer:

3 0

Dynamo theory makes certain predictions. One is that a dynamo-induced magnetic field can exist only where a molten core exists within a fast-spinning planet. Small celestial bodies, such as Mars and the asteroids, long ago lost their heat, which shuts down the necessary convection near their cores. Venus is large enough to have retained its heat, but it spins very slowly, reducing the motion of its core and weakening the field. Mercury, which is too small to retain its primordial heat, does have a magnetic field as a result of its extreme inclination, which is allowed for in dynamo theory.

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

Dmitriy789 [7]

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.

Which of the following best describes the changes involved in a fission reaction?

never [62]

The correct answer is this: THE NUCLEUS OF AN ATOM SPLITS INTO FRAGMENTS, RELEASING A LARGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY.
Nuclear fission is the process in which the nucleus of a radioactive element split into two different nucleic of smaller sizes of different elements with a large release of energy. Nuclear fission process is usually used to provide energy for electricity generation.
