Answer:

Photosynthesis uses water and carbon dioxide in the presence of light to create

sugars with a by-product of oxygen. These sugars are used by the organism in the

presence of oxygen to make energy (frequently ATP) that can be used in cellular

processes with a by-product of water and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

photosynthesis= water+CO2+light energy --> sugar + oxygen

cellular respiration is the exact opposite equation except you use ATP energy in place of light energy

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Cancer cells can arise in a variety of ways, the most common, however, tends to be genetic mutations.

Genetic mutations can occur during the life of a cell due to outside factors such as:

The food we eat
The environment we expose the cell to
The substances that touch the cell (e.g skin cells)

That being said, the most common time for a genetic mutation to take place is during cellular division. During this time the DNA that encodes the cells is duplicated. Genetic mutations in this DNA sometimes cause the elimination of programmed cell death.

Programmed cell death is what tells a cell when it should stop growing and dividing. This is a regulatory function designed to keep the number of cells at a balance, growing only when needed. As this cell multiplies, this produces an increasing number of cells that will not die. The accumulation of these cells is referred to as cancer.

Hexokinase can use glucose or fructose as a substrate. The Km forglucose is 0.15 mM and for fructose Km = 1.5 mM.

babymother [125]

Answer:

a) glucose because Km is less for glucose.

b) For glucose, V as a percentage of Vmax = 50 %

For fructose, V as a percentage of Vmax = 9 %

Explanation:

a) Hexokinase has highest affinity for glucose because it's Km for glucose is low.

When enzyme [E] binds a substrate [S] an [ES] complex is formed. It is represent as under:

[E] + [S] ⇌ [ES] ⇌ [E] + [P]

As soon as [ES] is formed it may either form [E] & [P] in a forward reaction or dissociate back into [E] & [S]. Km is known as dissociation constant which represents the extent to which [E] & [S] are being formed. A higher value of Km represents formation of more [E] & [S] back from [ES]. It also means that binding affinity of enzyme with substrate is less or we can say that Km is inversely proportional to binding affinity.

Km ∝ 1 / binding affinity.

So, it simply means that lower the Km more will be the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate. In the given question, Km for glucose is 0.15 mM which is less than fructose (Km for fructose = 1.5 mM) that is why glucose is the answer.

b) The formula for Michaelis–Menten equation is as under:

V = Vmax × [S] / ([S] + Km)

V / Vmax = [S] / ([S] + Km)

Here, for glucose Km = 0.15 mM and [S] = 0.15mM.

So V as a percentage of Vmax for glucose will be as under:

V / Vmax = 0.15/0.15 + 0.15

→ V / Vmax = 0.15/0.30

→ V / Vmax = 0.5 = 1/2 = 50 %

Here, for fructose Km = 1.5 mM and [S] = 0.15mM.

So V as a percentage of Vmax for fructose will be as under:

V / Vmax = 0.15/0.15 + 1.5

→ V / Vmax = 0.15/1.65

→ V / Vmax = 0.09 = 9/100 = 9 %
