In the dark waters just below the photic zone, because of cellular respiration, the concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide is higher relative to dissolved oxygen.
In cellular respiration living organisms use oxygen and release carbon dioxide, because there is little or no light there is no photosynthesis and oxygen is little produced.
The correct answer is (D. both precise and accurate.
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
Citrate synthase catalyzes the reaction
Oxaloacetate + acetyl-CoA
citrate + HS-CoA
The standard free energy change for the reaction is -31.5 kJ*mol^-1
(
a) Calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction a 37degrees C
Explanation:
(a). It is known that
, relation between change in free energy (
) of a reaction and equilibrium constant (K) is as follows.
where, T = temperature in Kelvin
The given data is as follows.
T = 310 K,
(as 1 kJ = 1000 J)
Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
ln K =
=
ln K = 12.22
K = antilog (12.22)
= 
Therefore, we can conclude that value of equilibrium constant for the given reaction is
.
