DEQ: A fungal specie of cordyceps turns humanity into a zombie-like state. The rate of growth of a single cordyceps was observed and was determined to be proportional to itself. If between noon and 2:00 PM, the population triples, at what time, no controls being exerted, should the cordyceps becomes 100 times what it was in noon?

A chemical reaction is shown below for oxidation of benzene (C6H6) to carbo (CO2) and water (H2O) using oxygen (O2). Using the theoretical oxygen (ThOD) approach, calculate how many pounds per day of oxygen (lb/day O2) will be ri to completely degrade benzene given the following conditions. Report your al the nearest unit value (no decimal). • Flow (Q) = 6 mgd Benzene concentration (C) = 107 mg/L Oxygen transfer efficiency (n) = 85 % C6H6+ 7.5 O2 —› 6 CO2 + 3 H20
You are trying to come up with a drug to inhibit the activity of an enzyme thought to have a role in liver disease. In the laboratory the enzyme was shown to have a Km of 1.0 x 10-6 M and Vmax of 0.1 micromoles/min.mg measured at room temperature. You developed an uncompetitive inhibitor. In the presence of 5.0 x 10-5 M inhibitor, the apparent Vmax was determined to be 0.02 micromoles/min.mg. What is the Ki of the inhibitor?
