Question 1

Vmax refers to the maximum reaction velocity of an enzyme when:

  • A. It is operating at suboptimal levels.
  • B. It is fully saturated with substrate.
  • C. It is under heat denaturation.

💡 Hint: Remember the role of saturation in enzyme function.

Question 2

True or False: Vmax increases when the amount of enzyme decreases.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between enzyme amount and reaction speed.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
