Cellular respiration is the process by which the chemicalenergy of "food" molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved.

Answer:

[S]<<KM | [S]=KM | [S]>>KM | Not true

____________ | Half of the active | Reaction rate is | Increasing

$[E_{free}]$ is about | sites are filled of | independent of | $[E_{Total}]$ will

equal to $[E_{total}]$ . | | [S] | lower KM

_____________________________________________|____________

[ES] is much | | Almost all active

lower than | | sites are filled

$[E_{free}]$ | |

Explanation:

Generally the combined enzyme $[ES]$ is mathematically represented as

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M + [S]}----(1)$

for Michaelis-Menten equation

Where $[S]$ is the substrate concentration and $K_M$ is the Michaelis constant

Considering the statement $[S] < < K_M$

Looking at the equation $[S]$ is denominator so it can be ignored(it is far too small compared to $K_M$ ) hence the above equation becomes

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M}$

Since $[S]$ is less than $K_M$ it means that $\frac{[S]}{K_M} < < 1$

so it means that $[ES] < < [E_{total}]$

What this means is that the number of combined enzymes $[ES]$ i.e the number of occupied site is very small compared to the the total sites $[E_{total}]$ i.e the total enzymes concentration which means that the free sites [ $E_{free}]$ i.e the concentration of free enzymes is almost equal to $[E_{total}]$

Considering the second statement

$[S] = K_M$

So this means that equation one would now become

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{2[S]} = \frac{[E_{total}]}{2}$

So this means that half of the active sites that is the total enzyme concentration are filled with S

Considering the Third Statement

$[S] >>K_M$

In this case the $K_M$ in the denominator of equation 1 would be neglected and the equation becomes

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}] [S]}{[S]} = [E_{total}]$

This means that almost all the sites are occupied with substrate

The rate of this reaction is mathematically defined as

$v =\frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_M [S]}$

Where v is the rate of the reaction(also know as the velocity of the reaction at a given time t) and $V_{max}$ is he maximum velocity of the reaction

In this case also the $K_M$ at the denominator would be neglected as a result of the statement hence the equation becomes

$v = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{[S]} = V_{max}$

So it means that the reaction does not depend on the concentration of substrate [S]

For the final statement(Not True ) it would match with condition that states that increasing $[E_{total}]$ will lower $K_M$

This is because $K_M$ does not depend on enzyme concentration it is a property of a enzyme

Which one of the following groups of chemical compounds is composed entirely of organic compounds?

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Organic compounds are chemical compounds which usually contains one or more atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sometimes nitrogen or sulphur. Carbon and hydrogen are the main element that is contained in most organic compounds.

Option A is wrong because calcium phosphate is not an organic compound, although all the other compounds in the option are organic compounds.

Option B is wrong because calcium chloride is not an organic compound

Option C is wrong also as calcium sulphate is not an organic compound

Option D is correct as all are organic compounds
