Answer:
Functions of phosphorus in the body,
i) Formation of bones and teeth. It's a component necessary for forming strong bones and teeth in the body.
ii) It's important in helping to make protein in the body for growth. Since many proteins in the body are phosphorylated for regulating their functions.
iii) Activation of enzymes. This done through phosphorylation.
iv) Gene transcription. It provides structural importance to the gene and protein binding is by the presence of phosphorus.
Deficiency of phosphorus in the body;
i) Weak and fragile bones.
ii) Bone pain.
iii) Fragile teeth.
iv) Stiff joints.
Answer: K+ will flow from side 2 to side 1 until it is in equal concentrations in the two compartments
Explanation: A membrane potential will develop so that the electrical gradient stops the movement of K+ before equilibrium of the concentration can occur
Answer:
It is usually easier to calculate an enzyme's reaction velocity from the rate of appearance of PRODUCT rather than the rate of disappearance of a SUBSTRATE. Enzyme activity is measured as an INITIAL reaction velocity, the velocity before much SUBSTRATE has been depleted and before much PRODUCT has been generated. It is easier to measure the appearance of a small amount of PRODUCT from a baseline of zero PRODUCT than to measure the disappearance of small amount of SUBSTRATE against a background of high concentration of SUBSTRATE.
Penicillin was an accidental discovery I believe
