It is difficult to determine either Km or Vmax from a graph of velocity vs. substrate concentration because

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. too much substrate is required to determine them.

  2. the graph is sigmoidal.

  3. an asymptotic value must be determined from the graph.

  4. the points on the graph are often not spread out on the hyperbola.

Match the following  Special Techniques Are Used in Nutritional Studies;

A.) Hydroponic growth system

1.) plant roots lie on the surface of a trough, and nutrient solutions flow in a thin layer along the

trough over the roots and this system ensures that the roots receive an ample supply of oxygen

B.) Nutrient film growth system

2.) In this technique, plants are grown with their roots suspended in air while being sprayed continuously

with a nutrient solution, This approach provides easy manipulation of the gaseous environment around the root

C.) Aeronic growth system

3.) The technique of growing plants with their roots immersed in nutrient solution without soil and requires a large

volume of nutrient solution or frequent adjustment of the nutrient solution to prevent nutrient uptake by roots from

producing radical changes in nutrient concentrations and pH of the medium.

In very dry soils, the water potential (Yw) may fall below what is called the permanent wilting point, the water potential of the soil is so low that plants cannot regain turgor pressure even if all water loss through transpiration ceases. This means that
a) The hydraulic conductivity decreases drastically 
b) The water potential of the soil (Yw) is less than or equal to the osmotic potential (Ys ) of the plant
c) The water potential of the soil (Yw) is more than the osmotic potential (Ys) of the plant
d) cell osmotic potential (Ys) varies with plant species, the permanent wilting point is clearly not a unique property of the soil, it depends on the plant species
