2. Enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Answer the following with true or false. If false, explain why. (a) The initial rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is independent of substrate concentration. (b) At saturating levels of substrate, the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is proportional to the enzyme concentration. (c) The Michaelis constant Km equals the substrate concentration at which velocity (v) = Vmax/2. (d) The Km for a regulatory enzyme varies with enzyme concentration. (e) If enough substrate is added, the normal Vmax of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction can be attained even in the presence of a noncompetitive inhibitor. (f) The Km of some enzymes may be altered by the presence of metabolites structurally unrelated to the substrate. (g) The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the presence of a rate-limiting concentration of substrate decreases with time. (h) The sigmoidal shape of the v versus [S] curve for some regulatory enzymes indicates that affinity of the enzyme for the substrate decreases as the substrate concentration is increased.
