A two-stage chemostat system is used for production of
secondary metabolite. The volume of each reactor is 0.5 m3; the flow
rate of feed is 50 l h- 1. Mycelial growth occurs in the first
reactor; the second reactor is used for product synthesis. The concentration of
substrate in the feed is 10 gl-1. Kinetic and yield parameters for
the organism are:
Assume that product synthesis is negligible in the first
reactor and growth is negligible in the second reactor. Determine substrate
concentrations entering the second reactor.

Companion cells in minor veins of mature leaves.
All three cell types have dense cytoplasm and abundant mitochondria, there are
three types companion cells present in
column A while its characteristics given in column B;
COLUMN A COLUMN B
A)
Ordinary companion cells i) appear well suited for taking up solutes
via cytoplasmic connections numerous plasmodesmata connecting them to bundle
sheath cells. Its having numerous small vacuoles, as well as poorly developed
thylakoids.
B)
Transfer cells ii) have chloroplasts with
well-developed thylakoids and a cell wall
with a smooth inner surface. The number of plasmodesmata connecting ordinary
companion cells to surrounding cells.
C) Intermediary cells iii) the development of fingerlike wall in growths, particularly on the cell Walls. These wall ingrowths greatly increase the surface area of the transfer cell’s plasma membrane, few plasmodesmata connect this type of companion cell to any of the surrounding cells except its own sieve element.
Which of the following correct combination;

#Section 2: General Biology
In a certain enzyme-catalyzed reaction the following steps occur:
1. A phosphate group on substrate A is transferred to a side chain of an active site residue of the enzyme.
2. The dephosphorylated form of substrate A dissociates from the enzyme.
3. Substrate B enters the active site and is phosphorylated with simultaneous regeneration of the enzyme in its original form.
What kind of kinetic mechanism is described?
