What are the responsibilities of the region of the brain highlighted below? highlighter portion is at the bottom of the brain, forming a connection between the center of the brain and the spinal cord. regulating important involuntary bodily functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and swallowing. regulating homeostasis, hunger and eating, thirst and drinking, and many other functions of basic survival. controlling voluntary body movements, processing information from sense organs, thoughts, and learning abilities. coordinating movement and balance by using information from sensory nerves, including hand-eye coordination.

Agroup of students want to live a healthier life style they decide to use one of these following vegetable oils for cooking apex

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.

The human body maintains a temperature of around 98.6 degrees at all times. enzymes are involved in almost every chemical reaction in the body. which of the following describes the connection between these two statements? a. enzymes function best at a specific temperature. b. the body needs to be warm to prevent hypothermia. c. the body is kept relatively warm to prevent too much enzyme action. d. there is no connection between the two statements.
