The Vmax of the enzyme is 12 μmol⋅min−1

We use Michaelis-menten equation,  which is given by;

V=\frac{Vmax(S)}{Km+(S)} \\

Where v is velocity of reaction

Vmax = maximum rate achieved by the system

[S] = concentration of a substrate

K_{m}= Michaelis constant

Given V_{0} = 10umolmin^{-1}

[S] = 5km

Now, we calculate Vmax:

10umolmin^{-1} = \frac{Vmax*(5Km)}{Km+5Km}

Km = 1

10=\frac{5KmVmax}{6Km}

\frac{10*6}{5} =Vmax

Vmax =12 μmol⋅min−1

What type of syndrome is this Karyotype
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Patau's syndrome

Explanation:

Patau's syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by one additional chromosome 13, and therefore it is an aneuploidy caused by an extra chromosome (i.e., a trisomy). Individuals with Patau's syndrome have 47 chromosomes instead of 46 in some or all their somatic cells. This syndrome seriously affects fetal development, usually resulting in miscarriage, stillbirth or in neonatal death. The incidence of this syndrome is around 1/5,000 births.

Why are enzymes important for our bodies
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Because enzymes have many functions as chemical catalysts in numerous chemical reactions (for example in metabolism). By lowering the activation energy, they make it much easier to carry out reactions. They are also indispensable for signal transduction and cell regulation, often via kinases and phosphatases. They also generate movement, with myosin hydrolyzing ATP to generate muscle contraction, and also transport cargo around the cell as part of the cytoskeleton. Other ATPases in the cell membrane are ion pumps involved in active transport.
