In designing an experiment, the researcher can often choose many different levels of the various factors in order to try to find the best combination at which to operate. As an illustration, suppose the researcher is studying a certain chemical reaction and can choose four levels of temperature, five different pressures, and two different catalysts. (a) To consider all possible combinations, how many experiments would need to be con- ducted? (b) Often in preliminary experimentation, each factor is restricted to two levels. With the three factors noted, how many experiments would need to be run to cover all possible combinations with each of the three factors at two levels? (Note: This is often called a 23 design.)

Which one of the following statements is completely TRUE? O When AG > 0, the reaction is BOTH product-favored (spontaneous) AND endergonic. When AG 0, the reaction is BOTH reactant-favored (nonspontaneous) AND endergonic. When AG > 0, the reaction is BOTH product-favored (spontaneous) AND exergonic. When AG > 0, the reaction is BOTH reactant-favored (nonspontaneous) AND exergonic. When AG < 0, the reaction is BOTH reactant-favored (nonspontaneous) AND exergonic.
Concentrations in biochemical systems are often very dilute. Consequently, scientific notation and logarithms are often used to express concentrations. In scientific notation, numbers are expressed as coefficient x 10" To convert a number to scientific notation, proceed as follows: 1. Move the decimal place so that there is one digit in front of the decimal. 2. Account for the moved decimal in the value of x. If the decimal moved to the right, x is negative; if it moved to the left, x is positive. A logarithm is basically an exponent. Unless otherwise indicated, a logarithm is the a of 10". The numbers after the decimal point are significant; the number before the decimal just identify the location of the decimal point for the number. Notice that it is easy to estimate a logarithm from scientific notation; it's the exponent! Logarithms are commonly used to express the concentration of H. The pH is defined as pH= log (In), where the base number is 2.303. The same general rules as logs…

Which of the following is true about enzymes. a) Enzymes are catalysts and they increase the rate of a reaction while they are not altered by the reaction. b) Enzymes are proteins that can be denatured by changes in pH or temperature. c) Enzymes are highly specific for the substrates they react with and catalyze only one or a limited set of possible reactions with those substrates. d) All of these are true about enzymes e) None of these are true about enzymes
I was given a graphing activity. It was do with the measuring the reaction rate against temperature. As you can see in the images below when I plotted them it required to be a curved graph. My question is when you have to graph data like the worksheets attached do you simple go through each one or do you have to do something like a curve of best fit. I was also required to interpolate missing dataSpecifically I had to graph the rate of reaction which was measured at mm/s against temperautre. This was for a biology test. The data point were similar to these worksheets in the sense that none of the data points were overallping thy were clearly separated and at different height. BTW this subject was biology.
