The blood concentration of glucose in a normal healthy individual is:
1. 3.5 – 4.0 mM | 2. 4.0 – 4.5 mM |
3. 4.2 – 6.1 mM | 4. 5.0 – 5.5 mM |
All the following assumptions apply to Michaelis-Menten kinetic analyses of enzyme action EXCEPT:
1. the total enzyme concentration studied at each substrate concentration is fixed in analysis of enzyme kinetics.
2. formation of enzyme-substrate complex does not appreciably decrease the concentration of substrate.
3. Km decreases with competitive inhibition.
4. maximal velocity is reached when the enzyme-substrate complex is equal to the total concentration of enzyme present.
The conversion of glucose into lactic acid in
our muscles takes place in:
1. 9 metabolic steps
2. 10 metabolic steps
3. 11 metabolic steps
4. 12 metabolic steps
The living state is synonymous with:
1. Cellular organization
2. Metabolism
3. Consciousness
4. Reproduction
Consider the following two statements regarding enzyme action:
I: | Co-factors play a crucial role in the catalytic activity of the enzyme. |
II: | Catalytic activity is reduced when the co-factor is removed from the enzyme. |
Of the above statements:
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct
