Which of the following is/are true regarding initial and maximal velocity of enzyme-mediated reactions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a. True

b. True

c. False

d. True

Explanation:

a). A a very low substrate concentration , $S. Thus according to the Machaelis-Menten equation becomes

$V_0 = \frac{V_{max} \times [S]}{Km}$

Here since the $V_0$ 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 :

   $V_0 = \frac{V_{max} \times [S]}{Km+[S]}$

  Here the initial velocity changes directly with the substrate concentration as $V_0$ is directly proportional to [S]. But $V_{max}$ 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.

How are isotopes of the same chemical element alike? How are they different?
Stella [2.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The atomic mass of these species is different and atomic number remains same.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isotopes are the chemical species of the same element having different number of neutrons.

  • Atomic number is equal to the number of protons or electrons present in that element.

Atomic Number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

  • Atomic mass is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons contained in an atom.

Atomic Mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

For isotopes, as the number of neutrons differ, the atomic mass also differs.

For Example: Carbon has 3 naturally occurring isotopes: _6^{12}\textrm{C},_6^{13}\textrm{C}\text{ and }_6^{14}\textrm{C}. The atomic number remains the same but atomic mass differs.

Hence, for isotopes, the atomic mass of these species is different and atomic number remains same.
