Question : Go through the following statements. (i)In proteins, right handed and left handed helices are observed(ii)In B-DNA, at each step of ascent, the strand turns 36^(@).(iii)Living process is a steady - state in equilibrium. (iv)The rate of reaction doubles or decreas- es by half for every 10^(@) C change in ei- ther direction. Find out the correct statement ?

Answer»

(i), (III) & (iv)
(ii) & (iv)
(i) & (iv)
All are CORRECT

Solution :In proteins, only righthanded helices are observed. SYSTEMS at EQUILIBRIUM cannot perform work. As LIVINGORGANISMS workcontinously they cannotafford to reach equilibrum. Hence the livingstate in a non- equilibrium steady- state to be ableto perform work.
