Chapter 8, Problem 24P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The matching of the given terms with the proper description is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Enzymes being the catalysts increase the rate of reaction.

The Michaelis-Menten equation relates the concentration of substrate with the velocity of the reaction. A constant which expresses the substrate’s concentration if the velocity of reaction equals to the half of the maximum velocity of the reaction is known as Michaelis-Menten constant. It is denoted by $K_{\text{M}}$.
