Question

please help with what you can

Both carbon monoxide and oxygen bind at the same active site in hemoglobin. However, carbon monoxide binds stronger than oxygen, and thus, effectively prevents hemoglobin from transporting oxygen to cells. How is the carbon monoxide acting in this process? The experiment with rennin simulates the environment in the stomach How would the digestion of milk in the stomach be influenced by concentration and pH? Why was the experiment carried out at 35=40 C? Based on your observations in the experiment carried out at different temperatures, how effective would rennin be at 0 degree C and at 100 degree C? Explain. Refrigeration prevents the spoilage of food. what does this action have to do with the way that enzymes work? Below is a graph that shows the behavior of an enzyme at various pH values. What is the maximum value called? At what pH value is the enzyme expected to work the best?

Explanation / Answer

Q1.

Carbon Monoxide is acting as an inhibitor, ia competitive inhibitor since it is taking out "active" sites from Oxygen in the binding sites

Q2

a)

milk has plenty of substitute, and has a neutral pH. If the stomach has high pH, then there is not plenty of enzymes and acidic solution to process, so expect a slower rate

b

T is typically ranging arund T= 37°C so it is nar the HUMAN BODY temperature

c

Rennin is most likelly to work at best in T = 37°C since it is the most suitable temparture (human/mammals)

Q4

The max value is neutral pH

the max pH is given at 5 approx
