they determine the DNA molecule was shaped like a . As a result of replication, identical molecules of are produced. A genes is a sequence of in a DNA molecule.

As , plants meet their needs for making food from air, soil, water, and the sun's energy in a process called there are plants called grow high in trees without here are words to put in the blanks. 1.) producers 2.) consumers 3.) chloroplasts 4.) epiphytes

Arrange the following in the correct sequence, from earliest to most recent, in which these plant traits originated. 1. sporophyte dominance, gametophyte independence 2. sporophyte dominance, gametophyte dependence 3. gametophyte dominance, sporophyte dependence a) 1 → 2 → 3 b) 2 → 3 → 1 c) 2 → 1 → 3 d) 3 → 2 → 1 e) 3 → 1 → 2

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.
