Biog 1440 Week 3
BioG 1440, week 3 problem set. Enzymes and energy
1.Many spontaneous reactions occur slowly. Why don’t they all occur instantly? In biological processes, how is this rate sped up?
2. When the substrate (reactant) concentration is high enough enzyme A and enzyme
A’ may be saturated and their reactions run at the same maximum velocity. However, at subsaturating concentrations of reactants, these different enzymes run at different velocities for the same concentration of substrate. Enzyme A’ has a Km that is twice that of enzyme A. Draw a well labelled graph that depicts the verbal description of the previous sentences.
3. Arrange the following compounds into the proper equation for the net result of glycolysis. Be sure to put the proper number
