Answer:

The maximum speed at which substrate is converted to product

Explanation:

Vmax is the maximum value of the initial reaction rate when all active sites are occupied. This point is reached when there is sufficient substrate to completely saturate the active site of the enzyme.

However, it is not proven that it is possible for an enzyme to reach maximum speed in a real reaction due to a short delay during the substrate binding and release process at the active site.

Explain what happens to muscle force production at extremes of length

7nadin3 [17]

The sarcomere is the basic unit of a striated muscle and the force of a muscle is directly related to the extension that the sarcomere is under. When a sarcomere is extended from 1.5 micrometres to about 3 micrometres, the muscles' force is great and max at about 2/2.5 micrometres. When the muscle is fully extended and, therefore, the sarcomere is extended over than 3 micrometres, the muscle force decreases exponentially.
