A full-service car wash has an automated exterior conveyor car
wash system that does the initial cleaning in a few minutes.
However, once the car is through the system, car wash workers hand
clean the inside and the outside of the car for approximately 15 to
25 additional minutes. There are enough workers to handle four cars
at once during this stage. On a busy day with good weather, the car
wash can handle up to 150 cars in a 12-hour time period. However,
on rainy days or on certain days of the year, business is slow.
Suppose 50 days of work are randomly sampled from the car wash’s
records and the number of cars washed each day is recorded. A
stem-and-leaf plot of this output is constructed and is given
below. Study the plot and write a few sentences describing the
number of cars washed per day over this period of work. Note that
the stem-and-leaf display is from Minitab, the stems are in the
middle column, each leaf is only one digit and is shown in the
right column, and the numbers in the left column are cumulative
frequencies up to the median and then decumulative
thereafter.
| STEM-AND-LEAF DISPLAY: CARS WASHED PER DAY | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stem-and-leaf of Cars Washed Per Day N = 50 Leaf Unit = 1.0 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
From the stem and leaf display, the original raw data can be
obtained. For example, the fewest number of cars washed on any
given day are ____. The most cars washed on any given day are
_____. The modal stems are 3, 4, and 10 in which there are ___ days
with each of these numbers. Studying the left column of the Minitab
output, it is evident that the median number of cars washed is
____. There are only ___ days in which 90 some cars are washed (90
and 95) and only _____ days in which 130 some cars are washed (133
and 137).

We’ve very briefly covered that an equilibrium constant Keq = [products]/[reactants] can also be expressed as kfwd/krev. To derive this, remember that at equilibrium, kfwd[reactant] = krev[product]. Divide both sides by [reactant] and by krev, and you will find that kfwd/krev = [product]/[reactant].
a. With enzymes that follow the Michaelis‐Menten kinetic mechanism (they don’t all, but in this class we’ll limit our discussion to them), if the kcat is much less than k‐1, the KM is approximately equal to the KD. Explain why this is, and what the KM would tell us about the enzyme in such a circumstance.
b. In the situation described in (a), does the E+S⇌ES reaction (described by the KD) reach equilibrium?
c. With enzymes that follow the Michaelis‐Menten kinetic mechanism, if the kcat is comparable to k‐1, the KM tends to be much larger than the KD. Under these conditions, would the E+S⇌ES reaction be at equilibrium?
d. Under the condition of part (c), would the concentration of [ES] be higher or lower than if kcat << k‐1?
e. When kcat ≈ k‐1, how should we interpret the KM? How is this different from the kcat << k‐1 case?

approaches, how would you distinguish between an irreversible and a
reversible inhibitor? Assume that the inhibitor is a low molecular

Jacob and Monod discovered a constitutive mutation of the lacI gene (lacIC). Bacteria with the chromosomal genotype lacIC lacO+ lacZ+ lacY+ express high levels of both β-galactosidase and lactose permease in either the presence or absence of lactose. Which of the following mutations could have yielded this phenotype?
The mutant lacIC protein is unable to bind cAMP.
The mutant lacIC protein is unable to bind the lacO+ DNA sequence.
The mutant lacIC protein is unable to bind allolactose.
The mutant lacIC operator cannot bind CAP
Either the mutant lacIC protein is unable to bind the lacO+ DNA sequence or the mutant lacIC operator cannot bind CAP could explain these results.

Background information:
1. Temperature-sensitive cell cycle (cdc) mutants are important tools for studying cell cycle. These mutants grow and divide normally at low temperature but express the mutant phenotype at higher temperature.
2. Hydroxyurea inhibits the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase, and thus blocks DNA synthesis. Hydroxyurea inhibition of cell cycle can be overcome by changing the incubation media to remove the drug.
Experimental design and results:
A. A culture of cdcx mutations is incubated at 37°C for two hours (the approximately length of the cell cycle in yeast), and then transferred to a medium containing hydroxyurea at 20°C.
a. None of the cdcx mutants divide.
B. You first incubate cdcx cells at 20°C for 2 hours with hydroxyurea, and then transfer them to a medium without the drug at 37°C.
a. The cdcx mutants divide once.
C. You repeat these two experiments with the cdcy mutant cells.
a. The cdcy mutant cells do not divide in either experiment.
· Identify what phase of the cell cycle the cdcx mutant cells are blocked at for the restrictive temperature. Provide reasoning.
· Identify what phase of the cell cycle the cdcx mutant cells are blocked at for the restrictive temperature. Provide reasoning.
