The enzyme urease increases the rate of urea hydrolysis at pH 8.0 and 20 °C by a factor of 1014. Suppose that a given quantity of urease can completely hydrolyze a given quantity of urea in 19 minutes at pH 8.0 and 20 °C. How long would it take for this amount of urea to be hydrolyzed in the absence of urease at the same temperature and pH in sterile conditions? Include two significant figures in your answer. timeuncatalyzed years * TOOLS x10

Write and discuss the mechanism of the reaction that happens at the active site of the enzyme cathecol oxidase.
The enzyme urease is widely used for determining urea concentration in blood. The Michaelis constant for urease at room temperature is 2.0 mM and k2 = 2.5 × 10^3 s^-1 at pH = 7.5. Based on the kinetic experiment, when 4.76 mM urease was used, the initial rate of the reaction was determined to be 8.1 M/sec. What is the concentration in unit of mM of urea in blood? Please keep your answer to two decimal place. Please convert all concentration unit to mM in calculation. The answer is 4.26 (I would need help getting this answer)

3) A 28 yr old woman is newly sober for the past 3 months after completing an intensive outpatient recovery program. She wants to hang out with her co-workers at happy hour in a local club. She is anxious but goes out with them and orders a soda. She feels good that she was able to go out and not have an alcoholic drink. The following week the same scenario plays out without her having an alcoholic beverage. Is she on the path to staying sober or on the road to relapse? Why?
Ammonia must be eliminated from wastewater before it can be reused, recycled, or discharged. Describe the three major steps that are used to convert harmful ammonia into a harmless derivative. Your answer must be specific and include any appropriate chemical formulas or names of chemical or biological reagents. Mention, when appropriate, the toxicity of any of the components or how their production can get in the way of efficiently eliminating ammonia from wastewater.
A member of the landing party has been sent to sickbay after being exposed to high levels of carbon monoxide. In order for Dr. McCoy to treat this patient he needs to know the degree of poisoning that has occurred. He will first explain to you why the carbon monoxide is a poison and then tell you what information he needs, please help him: The hemoglobin molecule carries O, in the blood from the lungs to the cells, where the O, is released for metabolic processes. The molecule can be represented as Hb in its unoxygenated form and as Hb O2 in its oxygenated form. One reason CO is toxic is that it competes with O, for binding to Hb: Hb O2(aq) + CO Hb CO(aq) + A G° = -14 kJ at 37°C (body temperature) What is the ratio of [Hb CO/[HbO2] at 37 °C with [O2] = [CO]?
