Which order represents Michelis-Menten kinetics?(a) First-Second order(b) Zero-First order(c) Zero-Second order(d) Second orderThis question was addressed to me in homework.This interesting question is from General Reaction Kinetics for Biological Systems in chapter Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering |
Answer» CORRECT CHOICE is (b) Zero-First order Easiest explanation: The kinetics of many biological reactions are either zero-order, first-order or a combination of these called Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The reaction order depends on the relative size of the two terms in the denominator. At LOW substrate concentration [S] < |
