Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.

Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.

BIOCHEMISTRY HELP! You and a lab partner are performing on several molecular analogs to determine Km. One is a substrate analog,
Alina [70]

Answer:

Michaelis constant is known as km which is the substrate concentration that encourages the compound to work at half maximum velocity represented by Vmax/2. Michaelis constant is inversely related to the substrate and the affinity of the enzyme.  

Induced fit model: The premise of the purported induced fit hypothesis, which expresses that the attachment or association of a substrate or some other atom to an enzyme causes an adjustment to the enzyme in order to fit or restrain its activity.  

In substrate, analog Km or Michaelis constant will be high as the substrate will stay because of analogs inhibit activity.

In the transitional state, analog Km will be in the middle of the substrate and product analogs. Progress state analogs are synthetic mixes with a structure catalyzed reaction that looks like the progressing condition of a substrate atom in a compound enzyme.  

In item simple thus Km is the least.  

0.0013 M = product ananlog,

0.025 M=Transition state, and

0.0045 M = Substrate analog

If all other variables remain unchanged, what happens to the output force when the area of the input piston is doubled?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

1250N

Explanation:

This question is based on pascal's Law.

So By Pascal's Law

 =  

therefore  =force on input piston =25N

                  = Force or weight on output person.

therefore after putting the values we get,

= (25x 1500)/30

    =1250N
