Packet 8: Bonus 9
This equation can be rearranged to graph a Lineweaver–Burk or double reciprocal plot. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this equation that gives the reaction velocity of certain catalysts in terms of the substrate concentration and a namesake constant denoted K-sub-m.
ANSWER: Michaelis–Menten equation [prompt on Michaelis constant]
[10e] The Michaelis–Menten equation describes these biological catalysts, which are typically proteins and typically have the suffix “-ase.”
ANSWER: enzymes
[10m] “Perfect” enzymes are limited not by substrate concentration, but rather by the rate of this process. Though nonpolar molecules like CO2 can undergo this form of passive transport directly through the cell membrane, charged or polar species usually require a channel protein to do so.
ANSWER: diffusion [or word forms like diffuse]
