Answer:
A subunit of Rubisco takes approximately 0.33 s to perform one reaction
Explanation:
The kcat it's a kinetic first order constant that related the properties of the enzyme substrate complexes in a mechanisms and represents the overall first order process of the transformation of the substrate-enzyme complex into product.
Also kcat can be seen as the turnover number of an enzyme, representing the maximum number of substrate molecules that the enzyme can transform into product per time unit and per active site.
If the kcat is 3 s^-1, it means Rubisco can catalyse the transformation of 3 substrate molecules per second.
So, the time that takes a single reaction, should be the inverse of kcat.
To see it more clearly, the time needed for a single reaction is the time observed divided by the number of reactions done during that time.
In other words:
3 reactions ----------- 1 s
1 reaction -------------- x
- x=1 reaction/3 reactions.s^-1 = 1/kcat = 1/3 s ~ 0.33 s
So the time that takes one Rubisco subunit to do one reaction is approximately 0.33 s

Answer
HBA HBs
Explanation:
In some parts of Africa, up to 20% of the population are carriers of the sickle cell gene. This suggests that the trait must have a survival value. The carriers of the trait have a much lower susceptibility to malaria than normal individuals. This is because the malaria parasite survives very poorly in sickled red blood cells.

they are the closest to the human bar
Answer:
Scientist 1
Explanation:
<em>The conclusion of scientists 1 is valid.</em>
Human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, deforestation, etc. leads to the emission of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. <em>An increase in the population of a city will only lead to an increase in these activities and hence, an increase in the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere.</em>
Also, volcanic activities leads to the production of volcanic gases which is a mixture of carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, etc.
<u>However, an active volcano that is several miles away from the city might not be a major source of carbon in the air above a large city. The carbon dioxide produced from such volcanic activity thins out before reaching the city.</u>
