Like Bear Paw Lake, nearby Kalmbach Lake is an Alaskan lake that historically had no native predatory fish. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game started introducing rainbow trout into Kalmbach Lake in 1982. Prior to these introductions, pelvic reduction was common in this stickleback population. The rainbow trout is known to prey on stickleback. What would you hypothesize has happened to the stickleback population in the more than 30 generations that have elapsed since the trout was introduced? Question 6 options:

All the stickleback fish in Kalmbach Lake perished.

The population size of stickleback fish dropped dramatically, leaving only a few survivors, all of which have the absent pelvic phenotype.

Most stickleback fish in Kalmbach Lake now have pelvic spines.

Kalmbach Lake has no native predatory fish.

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.
