Two different enzymes catalyze the same reaction and both exhibit the same Vmax. When Enzyme A was run with a 40 uM substrate, t

he initial rate (Vo) was 10 uM/min, and when g it was run with a 4 mM substrate, the Vo was 20 uM/min. Estimate the approximate Vmax and Km of Enzyme A. When Enzyme B was run with 80 uM substrate, the initial rate (Vo) was 10 uM per minute. Estimate the Km of Enzyme B.

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]}

∴

10 = \dfrac{V_{max}\times 40}{k_m + 40}

10 (k_m + 40) = V_{max}40

40V_{max} -10k_m = 400 --- (1)

when v= 20

20= \dfrac{V_{max}\times 4000}{k_m + 4000}

20 (k_m + 4000) = V_{max}4000

4000V_{max} -20k_m = 8000 --- (2)

equating equation (1) and (2):

40V_{max} -10k_m = 400 --- (1)

4000V_{max} -20k_m = 8000 --- (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 = \dfrac{11.02 \times 80}{k_m + 80 }

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

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the evolution of flight?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

d.The wing-assisted incline running theory postulates that wings were initially used to maintain balance while climbing up slopes.

Explanation:

Two theories were given to explain the origin of avian flight. The top-down theory suggested that the birds' ancestors were tree dwelling species. They took help of wings to glide from tree to tree in order to avoid predator or catch prey. The bottom up theory suggested that the birds' ancestors were ground dwelling species. They took help of wings to maintain a balance and provide a lift for efficient running.

Wing-assisted incline running was a mixture of both the above theories and gave a balanced view point. According to it, birds' ancestors used wings to maintain a balance while running up inclined slopes. The wings helped them to save energy while scaling slopes and eventually a flight mechanism was also developed.

From the provided choices, which color of light does the pigment chlorophyll absorb the most?
vredina [299]

Answer:

What color light is best absorbed by chlorophyll?

As shown in detail in the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum. Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green. Chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts of plants.

Explanation:

therefore it is blue
