Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Delta G (△G) refers to the overall energy released during a chemical reaction when equilibrium is reached i.e the rate of conversion of product into the substrate is equal to the rate of conversion of substrate into product. Thus, △G accounts for the equilibrium of the reaction.

In the given question, it has been mentioned that △G of a reaction is -20 kcal/mol then how will it change if the amount of enzyme is doubled.  

The △G is not affected by the enzyme concentration as the presence of enzyme affects the G (Gibbs free energy) and activation energy.

Therefore, △G will remain the same even if the amount of enzyme is doubled i.e -20 kcal/mol will be the correct value.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Answer:

Pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

Yeasts convert glycerol and sugars into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) through independent pathways. Then, G3P forms pyruvate and, in some circumstances, pyruvate is converted in ethanol, which can be used as energy sources. If the mutation affects any reaction before G3P formation, it will only affect yeast growing either on sugar or pyruvate but not both.

Pyruvate kinase is the only enzyme on the list acting after G3P is formed and before pyruvate is formed. All other options are enzymes acting only in the formation of G3P from sugars. Meaning that only pyruvate kinase mutants will lack the ability to grow on both sugars and glycerol.

Kisachek [45]
The best thing to visualize using a diagram in this case would be the last answer - the average number of clams dredged up at different depth ranges.

The reason for this is because on th X-axis of our histogram, we can use different ranges (5-10, 10-15 ...) and the Y-axis would represent the frequency or average number of clams that are being dredged up.

What is a pH of something that is considered neutral?
olasank [31]

Answer: Water. The pH level is 7.

Explanation: The scale has values ranging from zero (the most acidic) to 14 (the most basic). As you can see from the pH scale above, pure water has a pH value of 7. This value is considered neutral—neither acidic or basic.

dangina [55]

Answer: Clouds form when rising air, through expansion, cools to the point where some of the water vapor molecules "clump together" faster than they are torn apart by their thermal energy. Some of that (invisible) water vapor condenses to form (visible) cloud droplets or ice crystals
