For a given enzyme reaction, Km was determined to be 2.0 mM. In the presence of a competitive inhibitor (0.45 mM), the Km increased to 3.0 mM. What is the dissociation constant of the enzyme-inhibitor complex (Ki)

Imagine a self-reactive t cell that has not undergone clonal deletion in the thymus (that is to say, it has escaped central tolerance). if it encounters self antigen in the absence of an infection or inflammation, what will happen to this self-reactive t cell? (select two answers) (a) the t cell undergoes clonal expansion. (b) the t cell gains effector functions. (c) the t cell undergoes apoptosis. (d) the t cell becomes activated. (e) the t cell becomes anergic.

Lactase is essential for digesting lactose in milk. this enzyme is specific for this sugar. why? molecules and active sites vary in size; only properly sized molecules can fit. there is a precise compatibility between the active site and the lactose molecule. specificity refers to the action of the enzyme, such as hydrolysis, and relatively few molecules can be hydrolyzed. reaction-specific enzymes assume a fit by folding around the most numerous substrate molecules.

Which is an innovation of gymnosperms? gymnosperms are the first seed plants. gymnosperms are the first flowering plants. gymnosperms are the first vascular plants. gymnosperms are the first spore plants.
