Answer:

600 kcal

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, energy is transferred from one organism in a trophic level to another organism in another trophic level. Organisms called PRODUCERS are capable of deriving energy from the sun. However, when fed upon by PRIMARY CONSUMERS, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to them because most of the energy (90%) is lost as heat.

Hence, in this case where the producers had 6,000 kcal of energy, 10% i.e. 10/100 of 6000 = 600 kcal of energy will be transferred to the primary consumers.

Under most weathering conditions, which mineral component of granites and rhyolites would be most resistant to decomposition?

lions [1.4K]

Granite would be more resistant to decomposition as compared to rhyolite because rhyolite is a fine-grained rock and Granite is a coarse-grained rock.

Granite tends to be more stable to weathering conditions. The major component of quartz, orthoclase, muscovite and biotite are the in order of resistant to decomposition.

Enolase is an enzyme that catalyzes one reaction in glycolysis in all organisms that carry out this process. The amino acid sequ

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a) The response indicates that a pH below or above this range will most likely cause enolase to denature/change its shape and be less efficient or unable to catalyze the reaction.

b)The response indicates that the appropriate negative control is to measure the reaction rate (at the varying substrate concentrations) without any enzyme present.

c)The response indicated that the enolase has a more stable/functional/correct/normal protein structure at the higher temperature of 55°C than at 37°C because the enzyme is from an organism that is adapted to growth at 55°C.

Explanation:

Enolase catalyzes the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate during both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.In bacteria, enolases are highly conserved enzymes and commonly exist as homodimers.

The temperature optimum for enolase catalysis was 80°C, close to the measured thermal stability of the protein which was determined to be 75°C, while the pH optimum for enzyme activity was 6.5. The specific activities of purified enolase determined at 25 and 80°C were 147 and 300 U mg−1 of protein, respectively. Km values for the 2-phosphoglycerate/phosphoenolpyruvate reaction determined at 25 and 80°C were 0.16 and 0.03 mM, respectively. The Km values for Mg2+ binding at these temperatures were 2.5 and 1.9 mM, respectively.

Enolase-1 from Chloroflexus aurantiacus (EnoCa), a thermophilic green non-sulfur bacterium that grows photosynthetically under anaerobic conditions. The biochemical and structural properties of enolase from C. aurantiacus are consistent with this being thermally adapted.
