Answer: Radioactive waste

Explanation:

The nuclear fission reaction consists of heavy atomic particles or heavy nucleus, like plutonium and uranium and in radioactive heavy metals. In the fission reaction the nucleus get split into equal masses of particles. This process is associated with release of large amount of energy. The fission of radioactive waste can cause deadly mutations in living beings.

Explain why lime is added to lakes. Refer to the problem that exists and what lime does to the lakes.

aalyn [17]

Explanation:

Lime is added to lower the acidity of lakes when pH levels go too low.

Acidic environment is harmful to aquatic ecosystems. Acidity causes some minerals, such as phosphorus and calcium, in the water to become unavailable to aquatic organisms like plants and fishes ( This means the water hardness is reduced). The low nutrients cause stress and death in the aquatic environment lowering biodiversity. Applying lime raises the pH to neutral levels and improves the health of the aquatic life in the lake. This also improves economic activities in the lake like fishing.

The Sun heats land and water, how is this related to wind and ocean currents?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

"The sun warms up parts of the oceans. Warm waters rise just like warm air rises. So, as the warmer ocean waters begin to rise in a particular area, the cooler ocean waters from a different area will move in to replace the warmer ocean waters, and this creates our ocean currents."

For an enzyme that displays Michaelis-Menten kinetics, what is the reaction velocity, v(as a percentage of Vmax), observed at:a)

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

a) 50% of the maximum velocity

b) 33.33% of the maximum velocity

c) 9.09% of the maximum velocity

d) 66.66% of the maximum velocity

e) 90.9% of the maximum velocity

Explanation:

The Michaelis-Menten kinetis is represented by

v = Vmax*S/(Km+S)

where

v= reaction rate

S= Substrate's concentration

Vmax= maximum rate of reaction

Km= constant

a) for S=Km

v = Vmax*Km/(2Km) = Vmax/2

v/Vmax = 1/2= 50% of the maximum velocity

b) for S=Km/2

v = Vmax*(Km/2)/(3/2Km) = Vmax/3

v/Vmax = 1/3= 33.33% of the maximum velocity

c) for S= 0.1*Km=Km/10

v = Vmax*(Km/10)/(11/10Km) = Vmax/11

v/Vmax = 1/11= 9.09% of the maximum velocity

d) for S=2*Km

v = Vmax*(2*Km)/(3*Km) = (2/3)* Vmax

v/Vmax = 2/3 = 66.66% of the maximum velocity

d) for S=10*Km

v = Vmax*(10*Km)/(11*Km) = (10/11)* Vmax

v/Vmax = 10/11 = 90.9 % of the maximum velocity
