Answer:
a) k_m = 4.08 uM
V_{max} = 20.07 uM/min
b) k_m = 8.16 uM
Explanation:
Given that:
For Enzyme A:
the substrate concentration [S] = 40 uM
the initial velocity rate v = 10 uM/min
when it was 4mM, v = 20 uM/min
i.e.
at 4mM = 4000 uM;
Using Michealis -menten equation;
when v = 10
![V = \dfrac{V_{max}[S]}{k_m+[S]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7BV_%7Bmax%7D%5BS%5D%7D%7Bk_m%2B%5BS%5D%7D)
∴
when v= 20
equating equation (1) and (2):
let multiply equation (1) by 100 and equation (2) by 1
4000V_{max} - 1000K_m = 4000
<u>4000V_{max} - 20 k_m = 8000 </u>
0 -980k_m = 4000
k_m = 4000/-980
k_m = 4.08 uM
replacing the value of k_m into equation (1)
40{V_max } - 10(4.08) = 400
40{V_max } - 40.8 = 400
40{V_max } = 400 + 40.8
40{V_max } = 440.8
V_{max} = 440.8/40
V_{max} = 11.02 uM/min
b)
Since V_{max} of A ie equivalent to that of B; then:
V_{max} of B = 11.02 uM/min
Here;
[S] = 80 uM
V = 10 uM/min
∴
10(k_m +80) = 881.6
10k_m = 881.6 - 800
10k_m = 81.6
k_m = 81.6/10
k_m = 8.16 uM
Carlos should collect the data and calculate the mean, median, and mode. He should then create a bar graph or histogram to visually show which cafeteria option is favored.
The correct answer is C. Sphagnum moss
Explanation:
In biology, a renewable source of energy refers to a type of source that replenishes and therefore can be widely used to obtain energy such as wind energy or solar energy that are almost always available. On the other hand, a seedless plant is a type of plant that does not have seed and because of this, they reproduce through sperms.
All fo the plants listed (club moss, horsetail, fern and sphagnum moss) belong to the category of seedless plants; however, from this, the only one that has been widely used a source of energy is sphagnum moss because dried sphagnum moss or peat moss is used as carbon or coals source and therefore is useful for heating building and because it is a plant that grows extensively it is also a renewable source.
