Why do most cells in the human body divide infrequently? They have exited the cell cycle and entered G0. The free-energy change for the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water is -686 kcal/mol, and the free-energy change for the reduction of NAD+ to NADH is +53 kcal/mol

The Km of your favorite enzyme that operates by normal Michaelis-Menten kinetics is 10-6 M. You start off with a substrate conce
swat32

Answer: (a) 0 no free enzyme left

(b) 10^-9M

Explanation:

ANSWER:

Given that

Kcat = 10 sec-1

Km = 10^-6 M

[S] = 10^-3 M

[Enzyme] = 10^-9 M

The reaction follows the following path-

Enzyme (E) + Substrate (S) <=> ES complex -> E + Product (P)

According to the improved model of Michaelis-Menten kinetics, upon addition of substrate and the enzyme, instead of dynamic equilibrium, a steady state is reached. The time taken is very less, almost instantaneously (since Kcat is much higher than the concentrations we are dealing with (10 per second! Whereas we are dealing with concentrations as low as 10-9).

In this steady state, the Enzyme and substrate instead of existing individually, exist as an Enzyme-Substrate complex, or ES complex.

Physically, Km is a measure of how well substrate complexes with an enzyme, i.e. It's binding affinity.

You can imagine this as if 1 unit of the substrate can bind to "Km" units of Enzyme. For the give conditions, 1 M of the substrate requires 10^-6 M enzyme for complete binding. So, 10^-3 M of the substrate will require 10^-3 x 10^-6 = 10^-9 M of the enzyme, which is the exact amount of enzyme added to the reaction mixture.

So it is safe to assume that when the steady state is reached, all of the enzyme is bound to the available substrate producing the ES complex with the concentration equal to the limiting reactant, i.e. the enzyme = 10^-9 M

Hence, there will be no free enzyme left after the short duration of the reaction. And the concentration of the ES complex will be 10^-9 M

Which of the following is not a difference between Prokaryotic cells?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The age of the cell

Explanation:

Assuming your question was meant to be "Which of the following is NOT a difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells?", everything except the age is different.

Prokaryotes are simple cells that have no nucleus and are generally small. Eukaryotes are complex cells that have a nucleus, organelles, and are much bigger than prokaryotes.

- An accident victim (who was not wearing a seat belt) was thrown from a vehi-
Genrish500 [490]

This injury is fatal because, The phrenic nerve regulates breathing and operates the diaphragm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The motor ability is provided by the Nerve called Phrenic nerve to the diaphragm. This is a muscle that is very important for the respiration to take place in human. When a damage or injury occurs to the Phrenic nerve, it may result in the paralysis of diaphragm.

When this is damages there may be difficulties in breathing and only small amount of air can be inhaled. Thus the paralysis of this nerve results in the prevention of the victim to find difficulties in respiration. Thus, the example given is fatal because, the phrenic nerve regulates breathing and operates the diaphragm.
