A teacher shows the class a plant and asks the students to predict the biome the plant is from. Which of the following sets of questions would be MOST helpful to the students in determining the correct biome for the plant?
A. What temperature range is needed for the plant to thrive?
How much water does the plant need?
OB. Does the plant produce flowers?
If yes, what organism pollinates the flowers?
C. What, if any, animals use this plant for food?
What does the plant taste like?
O D. How big is the container the plant is in?
How tall does the plant grow in its natural environment?
Ok

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.
