Question

Im not sure how i was supposed to answer questions 29, 30, and 33. Please help.

Part C: Filling in the Blank (2 points each unless otherwise specified) 29. In enzyme kinetics, what is the term used to define (enzyme:substrate/time? e Irace yes but specify 30. What is a Km of an enzyme kinetic reaction? s. Half of the Vmas 31. Define a protein family a. A set of proteins with similar structures and Active sites 32. When electrons are donated or accepted during biological reactions, then the reactions are termed a Oxidation a n or b. Reduction 33. What is one of the main functions of NADH dehydrogenase during cellular respiration? * To aid in oxidation of

Answer 1

29. Rate constant or specificity constant

30. Rate of reaction when enzyme is saturated with substrate is the Vmax or maximum rate of reaction. Km is the concentartion of substrate which allows the enzyme to achieve half Vmax. It denotes that 50% of enzyme molecules are bound with substrate molecules at the reaction.

33. NADH dehydrogenase in cellular respiration- Complex 1 is the first enzyme complex int he respiratory chain and it accepts electrons from NADH+ H+ which is derived from carbohydrates , fats and amino acids which creates a gradient at the inner mitochondrial membrane. So it converts NAD from NADH to its oxidized form(NAD+)
