What does small amount of an enzyme can cause the reaction of large quantities of substrate mean?
That enzymes can catalyze reactions and remain unchanged by those reactions, causing many reactions per second. Enzymes are protein machines that are reusable and rapid catalyzers.
Enumerate two redox reaction that take place in the environment and in industrial processes?
Oxidation-reduction reactions are common throughout the biome. One natural reduction involves elemental sodium (Na) changing to sodium chloride(aqueous) in the presence of a hydrogen chloride (HCl) solution, which also yields hydrogen gas (H2). Industrial reductions include the purification of iron (Fe) ores through exposure to heat, oxygen and carbon cokes (C).
Only small amounts of enzymes are required for reactions within cells because enzymes are?
Only small amounts of enzymes are required for reactions within cells because enzymes are reused.
How is most energy produced?
Most energy is produced by the breaking and reforming of molecular bonds. A car's combustion reaction in which fuel is converted into energy, co2 and water is a good example of this. Energy is rarely produced on the atomic level, such as a nuclear power plant or an atom bomb. Energy is produced this way through Einstein's E=mc^2. In an atomic reaction the mass of the products is slightly less then the mass of the reactants. Plug the change in mass into Einstein's equation and you get a lot of energy. To recap, most energy is made on the molecular level with endothermic (reactions which absorb energy) and exothermic reactions (reactions which emit energy), however a small amount takes place on the atomic level.
Why Small holes are provided at the bottom of the chimney in an oil lamp?
Air is need for combustion.

Chemical composition of dry gas use in gasoline fuel tank?
The composition of most exhaust fuel is Nitrogen, H20, CO2, and a small amount of CO (from incomplete combustion), HCs (from unburnt fuel), NOx (from excessive combustion temperatures), and ozone.
What is the EGR in cars?
Exhaust Gas Recirculation. A small amount of exhaust gas is fed back into the cylinder to lower combustion temperatures and lower tail pipe emissions.
How do sulfur oxides get into the atmosphere?
Sulfur oxides are created by: * the combustion of sulfur containing fuels * the oxidation of sulfides * decomposition * volcanoes * the processing of sulfdic ores They are released to the atmosphere by point sources from these origins (stacks, vents etc) or as fugitive emissions from small leaks and losses
How does your metabolism affect the hydration of your body?
metabolism is the sum total of all the chemical reactions going on in our body. analytic reactions like hydrolysis sometimes produce water as a by- or waste-product. although this is in a very small amount, it may help in the hydration of our body.
What is Einstein exception of the law of conservation of energy?
The law of conservation of energy itself is not strictly correct since nuclear reactions change a small amount of matter into energy, if this is what you mean.
The joining of nucei of small atoms to form larger atoms?
this is fusion nuclear reaction in which smaller elements converted into bigger atoms , such reactions take place with the release of huge amount of energy. when a new star is born such reactions stat to taking place so such reactions continuously tacking place on all the stars or suns.

What are the reactions to using metronidazole for alcoholics?
Because there's a small amount of metronidazole going in the blood, the interaction is the same... you should avoid alcohol during all the treatment and 3 days after.
What is the oxidation number of Ar?
Elemntal argon has an oxidation number of zero. The only compound known (aunstable and only very small amounts made at low temperature) HArF has an oxidation number of zero also!
What does the acronym EGR represent and what does the EGR do?
Exhaust gas recirculation. The egr meters a small amount of exhaust gas back into the engine. This gas lowers the combustion temperature which lower the a mount of oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust.
The pipes under my vanity have a bluish buildup on them what is that?
Oxidation. Copper has oxidation, steel has rust. It's the same process, just different names. Somewhere above where it starts there is a small leak or there was, it may have sealed itself with the oxidation.
