What does the Michaelis-Menten equation describe?
💡 Hint: Think about what parameters are involved in enzyme activity.
True or False: Heterogeneous catalysis involves the catalyst being in a different phase than the reactants.
💡 Hint: Consider the typical phases of catalyst and reactants in these processes.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an enzyme with Km of 1 mM and Vmax of 100 µM/s, calculate the initial reaction rate at a substrate concentration of 500 µM.
💡 Hint: Remember to convert units to be consistent.
A reaction exhibits zero-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.1 M/s. If the initial concentration is 2 M, how long until the concentration drops to 1 M?
💡 Hint: Focus on how time relates to concentration changes.
