Part A: You are given a beaker containing a solution of an enzyme that hydrolyzes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) while it generate

s a lot of heat. You add a substantial amount of the sodium salt of ATP, and you measure the temperature of the beaker, and determine that nothing is happening. The enzyme is not performing the reaction. What is a reasonable chemical to add to the solution to get the enzyme to proceed with the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate?
Sulfur oxide,
Iron chloride,
magnesium chloride,
or add more sodium ATP.
Part B: You are investigating the reduction of oxygen that is performed by cytochrome c oxidase. As you start the reaction in a slightly acidic aqueous buffer with 2 mM Cu2SO4 and bubbling oxygen into the buffer. As the reaction proceeds, the solution slowly turns blue, what is happening?
a) Ozone is formed. This causes the solution to turn blue.
b) The copper is getting oxidized from Cu+ to Cu2+ and turns blue.
c) The cytochrome c oxidase protein is decomposing down to a blue product.
d) The pH of the solution is changing. Cu2SO4 is a pH indicator that turns blue when a solution becomes basic.
Part C: In the previous reaction, if you add a small amount of cyanide before adding the
Cu2SO4, the solution does not turn blue. What is a reasonable explanation?
a) The cyanide ion displaces the copper ions in the cytochrome c oxidase and stops the redox reaction.
b) The cyanide ion keeps the pH of the solution high. So the Cu2SO4 pH indicator does not show the decrease in pH.
c) The cyanide ion prevents the formation of ozone.

Answer:

1) magnesium chloride

2) b) The copper is getting oxidized from Cu+ to Cu2+ and turns blue.

Explanation:

The work published by David N. Frick, Sukalyani Banik, and Ryan S. Rypma in J Mol Biol. 2007 Jan 26; 365(4): 1017–1032 clearly shows that divalent metal ions of group 2 such as Mg^2+ play an important role in ATP hydrolysis. Addition of EDTA decreased the rate of hydrolysis of ATP (due to sequestration of the divalent ion of group 2) indicating an active participation of divalent ions in the process.

2) The copper I ion is colourless because it is a d^10 specie. However, when it is oxidized to Cu^2+, a blue colour appears in the solution.

What is the density of aluminum in pounds per cubic inch?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

0.098 pounds per cubic inch

Explanation:

The density of aluminum is 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter (2.7g/cm^3)

2.7g/cm^3 × 1lb/453.59g × (2.54cm)^3/(1in)^3 = 0.098lb/in^3

Electricity generated from any source comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. So, no source of energy for generating el
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Wind energy

An ideal source of energy needs to be reliable, cost effective, safe and must lead to almost zero adverse environmental impact.

Wind energy is energy obtained from air moving at high velocity. This energy is harvested using windmills which convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.

Wind is inexpensive because it occurs naturally. However, a large expanse of land is required in order to mount sufficient number of windmills that will generate enough electrical energy for practical purposes.

This method of electricity generation is safe and does not lead to any environmental hazard unlike the burning of fossil fuels, use of nuclear energy or loss of habitat due to hydroelectric power generation.

The international treaty which provides operational rules on reducing greenhouse gas emissions is called:______
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Paris climate agreement of 2015

Explanation:

In the year 2015, global leaders seeking to join forces to combat the ever increasing emissions of green house gases which is having a bad influence on our prevailing world climate met in Paris in 2015, although the treaty became effective in the year 2016.

There are 195 signatories to the treaty. The Paris Agreement's long-term temperature goal is to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels; and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 °C, recognizing that this would substantially reduce the risks and impacts of climate change.

How are the properties of high-tech ceramics the same as those of traditional clay ceramics, and how are they different? Refer t
algol13

Modern ceramics have all properties which have traditional ceramics for example hardness, high resistance to chemicals, and heat and they are different from traditional ceramic because have superior magnetic are or electrical properties.

One example is classical ceramic which is an insulator but when is dopped with ZnO it becomes a good conductor at high voltages.
