An enzyme with Km = 3x10-4 M was tested with an initial substrate concentration of 10-6 M. Within one minute, 5% of the substrate had reacted. a) What percentage of substrate will have reacted in 5 min? b) If the initial concentration of substrate was 8x10-7 M, what percentage of substrate will have reacted in 5 min? c) Calculate Vmax. d) A concentration of 9x10-7 M, how long will it take for 50% of the substrate to react? e) A 10-6 M concentration, how long will it take for 75% of the substrate to react?

[S] = 0.02 , Km = 1.2 x10^ -4 , rate = dP/dT = product formed per time = 2.7 x 10^ -6 moles /30 = 9 x10^ -8 we know rate = vmas

Explanation:

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
