This is more of a physics explanation, but here we go.
Mass is a measure of how much "matter" is in an object. Weight is the force applied onto an object by gravity. Weight itself can be related to mass like this:
where g is a gravitational constant. For our purposes, it's defined by whatever planet you are on. Following this, we can demonstrate that mass is NOT the same thing as weight if we take two objects of the same mass and put them on different planets.
Let E refer to Earth and F refer to Mars
Following this, we can see clearly that weight is not the same as mass:
If weight was the same thing as mass, the two values would be the same, as the mass of the two objects is the same. But since weight is defined in the context of gravity, they are not.
Answer:
a. True
b. True
c. False
d. True
Explanation:
a). A a very low substrate concentration , . Thus according to the Machaelis-Menten equation becomes
Here since the varies directly to the substrate concentration [S], the initial velocity is lower than the maximal velocity. Thus option (a) is true.
b). The Michaelis -Menten kinetics equation states that :
Here the initial velocity changes directly with the substrate concentration as is directly proportional to [S]. But
is same for any particular concentration of the enzymes. Thus, option (b) is true.
c). As the substrate concentration increases, the initial velocity also increases. Thus option (c) is false.
d). Option (d) explains the procedures to estimate the initial velocity which is correct. Thus, option (d) is true.
