Answer:
1. The population will increase as they're better adapted to their environment and have a higher survival rate due to this helpful phenotype.
2. This happens to the population because this helpful phenotype might lead to less exposure to predation in which leads to a better survival fitness for the organism.
3. This mutation continues to exist as the organisms continue to successfully reproduce into the population due to being able to survive for longer.
Answer:
A subunit of Rubisco takes approximately 0.33 s to perform one reaction
Explanation:
The kcat it's a kinetic first order constant that related the properties of the enzyme substrate complexes in a mechanisms and represents the overall first order process of the transformation of the substrate-enzyme complex into product.
Also kcat can be seen as the turnover number of an enzyme, representing the maximum number of substrate molecules that the enzyme can transform into product per time unit and per active site.
If the kcat is 3 s^-1, it means Rubisco can catalyse the transformation of 3 substrate molecules per second.
So, the time that takes a single reaction, should be the inverse of kcat.
To see it more clearly, the time needed for a single reaction is the time observed divided by the number of reactions done during that time.
In other words:
3 reactions ----------- 1 s
1 reaction -------------- x
- x=1 reaction/3 reactions.s^-1 = 1/kcat = 1/3 s ~ 0.33 s
So the time that takes one Rubisco subunit to do one reaction is approximately 0.33 s
Answer:
Option A: True
Explanation:
Insectivorous birds such as bluebirds, dippers and flycatchers prefer to eat medium-sized insects. This is because like most birds, they love easy and satisfying meals. To the birds, a medium-sized insect is a good compromise because it is quite easy to chew and digest and at the same time, easy to find.
As a result, most insectivorous birds prefer to get their daily ration of proteins from the medium-sized birds.
Answer:
Scientists mostly gain new knowledge through direct observation and applying the scientific method. They would start with a hypothesis and test it, then change it or confirm it. Others would test their confirmation from one point, while the third group would test what the second said. And so on and so forth.
