EDTA inhibits the activity of DNase during DNA isolation process.
DNase is an enzyme which degrades DNA using divalent metal ions like Mg^{2+} . These metal ions act as cofactor for the proper functioning of DNase.
EDTA chelates the divalent metal ions and thus does not allow DNase to access them.
Therefore in this way DNA is prevented from degradation during its isolation.
<u>Answer:</u>
Continuous pumping of water causes drawdown. The water table lowers rapidly.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Water table is the level below which the ground is saturated with water.
- During rainfall the runoff water percolates into the ground through the gap in the soil particles and the water table is recharged.
- But when gallons of water are pumped continuously it leads to a drastic reduction in the water table because, water from the surrounding aquifers move towards the place where the vacuum is created by pumping.
- To prevent this, the groundwater should be recharged and over drawing should be avoided.
Answer:
The correct answer is - B. Lichens.
Explanation:
Lichens are one of the pioneer species that can grow on bare rock such as moraine and help make soil for further ecological succession and making ground for other species.
Breaking the bare rocks to convert into the soil is part of the primary succession. Lichens are colonized over these rocks and they contain acid which leads to the breakdown of the moraine and other rocks.
Answer:
The correct answer is option c. "The apparent value of KM increases with a competitive inhibitor, while it remains unchanged with a noncompetitive inhibitor".
Explanation:
The KM value in an enzymatic reaction is defined as the substrate concentration at which the half of the enzyme molecules are binding with the substrate. A way to distinguish between a competitive and noncompetitive inhibition is that the apparent value of KM increases with a competitive inhibitor, while it remains unchanged with a noncompetitive inhibitor. A competitive inhibitor would make that a higher concentration of substrate is needed, while a noncompetitive inhibitor does not change KM since the inhibitor binds to a site of the enzyme different from the active site.
