Which statement is false with respect to carbohydrates? they are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1: 2: 1 ratio. they are made from carbon dioxide and water by the process of photosynthesis. they are metabolized in the body to produce energy. they are the cause of obesity and should be eliminated from a healthful diet?

There are specialized producers that live in warm water vents deep in the ocean. these producers do not per-form from photosynthesis, but instead perform a similar process with iron and other chemicals. why do you think these producers use this process instead of photosynthesis?

How can you approximate the number of calories required to keep you in energy balance?

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.
