Imagine an ecosystem where mice eat the grass and fox the mice. explain why will happen to the population of fox if there is a severe drought and all the grass dies

What do your cells need to live? a. carbon dioxide b. carbon c. air d. oxygen

Abeaker of water was heated and then placed on a bench in the laboratory. the water cooled until it was the same temperature as the air in the laboratory. which of these explains the mechanism by which the water cooled? a. heat energy was transferred from the water to the air. b. water molecules from the water formed warm water currents. c. the water molecules absorbed energy from the molecules in the air. d. the water released radiation until it contained no heat energy.

Penicillin is hydrolyzed and thereby rendered inactive by penicillinase (also known as β-lactamase), an enzyme present in some resistant bacteria. the mass of this enzyme in staphylococcus aureus is 29.6 kd. the amount of penicillin hydrolyzed in 1 minute in a 10-ml solution containing 10-9 g of purified penicillinase was measured as a function of the concentration of penicillin. assume that the concentration of penicillin does not change appreciably during the assay. penicillin(μm) amount hydrolyzed(nmol) 1 0.11 3 0.25 5 0.34 10 0.45 30 0.58 50 0.61 (a) plot v0 versus [s] and 1/v0 versus 1/[s] for these data. does penicillinase appear to obey michaelis-menten kinetics? if so, what is the value of km? (b) what is the value of vmax? (c) what is the turnover number of penicillinase under these experimental conditions? assume one active site per enzyme molecule.
