Illustrate how varying substrate concentrations influence the rate of reaction for an enzyme. Provide a graph showing the expected relationship according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
💡 Hint: Create a graph with substrate concentration on the x-axis and reaction velocity on the y-axis.
A researcher measures Vmax for two different enzymes. Enzyme A has a Vmax of 600 µmol/min and Enzyme B has a Vmax of 300 µmol/min. Describe implications for metabolic processes where these enzymes are involved.
💡 Hint: Think about the effect of enzyme speed on metabolic flow.
