Approximately what portion of the foods that we eat have been genetically modified in some way? a.fewer than 10% b.about 50% c.nearly 100%

On a spring day, a middle-latitude city (about 40? north latitude) has a surface (sea-level) temperature of 10 ? c. if vertical soundings reveal a nearly constant environmental lapse rate of 6.5 ? c per kilometer and a temperature at the tropopause of –55 ? c, what is the height of the tropopause?

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.
