Ions of iodine react with enzyme amylase and used as quantative test for measuring quantity of amylase. However, ions of iodine react with enzyme amylopectin very slightly. Why.

In section 7.4, the textbook states that in virtually all cases, reaction rates increase with increasing temperature. The rule of thumb is that for every 10°C increase in temperature, the reaction rate doubles. Consider if this is true in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, if the temperature is increased by 10°C, what would you expect to happen?
The reaction rate slows because the enzyme partially or completely denatures at the increased temperature.
The reaction rate doubles, in accordance to the rule set forth about the relationship between reaction rate and temperature.
The reaction rate quadruples because the reaction rate for both the enzyme and substrate are affected by temperature.

Lipase is a versatile industrial enzyme that can be applied to various industries. It is one of the most important classes of hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol to diacylglycerol, fatty acids and glycerol. You are a bioprocess engineer assigned by your superior to work with a biotechnologist to provide a proposal on the upstream and downstream processing of microbial lipase targeted to the biodiesel processing application. To begin the project, you are required to present a preliminary investigation report on the following. a. Select a suitable microorganism and a lipid carbon source that can be applied to produce microbial lipase for the targeted application economically at industrial scale with justifications.
I have found a microorganism which can produce Microbial Lipase for biodiesel process application economically at industrial scale by doing research. I found out an article of microorganism name 'Streptomyces sp CS 326'.
The heading of the article says 'A neutral lipase applicable in biodiesel production from a newly isolated Streptomyces sp CS 326.'
what is meant by 'neutral lipase'? Is it different from Microbial lipase? And can i use this microorganism 'Streptomyces sp CS 326' for the production of Microbial lipase for biodiesel process application?

Carl's Automotive operating income for the year was $900,000. Their net profit margin was 2.25% and their operating profit margin was 4.25%. Their total taxes amount to 40%. Depreciation was 10% of net fixed assets which totaled $1,250,000. Create their Income statement. Be sure to include all items of an income statement (operating costs, DA, Int, Taxes, etc.).

The town of Drygulch has been flooding once per year for the last thirty years. Folks have pretty much accepted the damages it causes. You have analyzed the flood periodicity and monetary impact to the town and know that with an upgrade to the storm drain system there would be a yearly savings depending on the flow rate (in kilogallons per minute, kgpm) of a new drainage system. The town expects a 10% MARR on any public works project. All of the drainage systems in the table below will have thirty years of useful life but the materials used can be recycled at the end of their life, remarkably giving the town back the same amount of funds that were originally needed for whatever system was chosen.

You remember that Dr. Jones, your engineering economics professor at MSU, used Equation 6-3:
EUAC = (P-S)(A/F,i,n) + Pi
of the textbook to show that when P = S, then EUAC = Pi è i = A/P, and so any incremental would be
DEUAC = DPDi è Di = DEUAC/DP è Di = DA/DP.
