Fill in the blanks with the correct word. During diffusion, molecules move from areas of concentration to areas of concentration. Diffusion does not require to move molecules.

Explain how organisms could be harmed by high levels of salt from roadways?

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.

Cancer cells spread to other parts of the body by entering the bloodstream. which of the following organs could prevent a cancer cell in the bloodstream from spreading, and why? a. the spleen, because it releases lymphocytes into the blood b. the peyer's patches, because they release lymphocytes into the blood c. the lymph nodes, because they release lymph into the blood d. the thymus, because it releases lymph into the blood
