Rate Calculations for Enzyme Activity Flashcards
All 3 cards in this deck
What equation gives the rate of an enzyme reaction from the amount of product formed?
rate = amount of product formed ÷ time taken, e.g. in cm³/s
What equation gives the rate of a reaction from the time it takes to finish (e.g. until the starch has gone)?
rate = , with units of (per second)
True or false? A shorter time taken to collect a fixed volume of product means a faster rate of reaction.
True. Rate is inversely proportional to time, so less time means a faster rate.
