Question 1 of 5

1. Question
What does Vmax represent in the context of enzyme kinetics?
- The maximum substrate concentration that an enzyme can handle
- The point at which increasing enzyme concentration no longer increases the reaction rate.
- The initial reaction rate of the enzyme at low substrate concentration.
- The velocity of the reaction at which all active sites are saturated with the substrate.
Correct

Incorrect
Question 2 of 5

2. Question
How does increasing substrate concentration ([S]) affect the Vmax of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
- Increases Vmax proportionally with substrate concentration.
- Decreases Vmax due to enzyme inhibition.
- Does not affect Vmax as it is determined by enzyme concentration.
- Initially increases Vmax until a certain point and then decreases it.
Correct

Question 3 of 5

3. Question
The Michaelis-Menten equation is used to describe the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. What does the Michaelis constant (Km) represent in this model?
- The substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is at its maximum.
- The enzyme concentration required to achieve half the maximum reaction rate.
- The substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half its maximum.
- The maximum rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction.

Question 5 of 5

5. Question
In an experiment to determine the Michaelis constant ( $K_{m}$ ) for a specific enzyme, the initial reaction rates ( $V_{0}$ ) were measured at various substrate concentrations ( $[S]$ ). The following table presents the collected data:

Substrate Concentration $[S]$ (mM)

Initial Reaction Rate $V_{0}$ ( $μ$ mol/min)

1.0 15

2.5 25

5.0 35

7.5 40

10.0 45

12.5 48

15.0 50

20.0 50

Given the data, what is the approximate $K_{m}$ value of the enzyme for this substrate?
- 1.0 mM
- 2.5 mM
- 5.0 mM
- 7.5 mM
