Question
Chapter 6, Problem 3A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The cells use the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules for carrying out the energy-requiring processes. The ATP is the high energy phosphate compound. The energy of the cell is stored in the bonds of the ATP molecule. Hence, it is also referred to as the currency of the cell.

The Km for X will be affected if Y is present in the reaction mixture.
a
Y is a competitive inhibitor of X.
The Km for X will increase.
d.
The V for X will be affected if Y is present in the reaction mixture.
max
pH dependence of Vmax reflects the ionization state of catalytic site
e
residues.
Consider the following: X and Y are methanol (poisonous) and ethanol
respectively. If the Km for X = 0.01 M and the Km for Y = 0.001 M then
0.01 M Y is 10 times the concentration of Y required for 0.5 Vmax.
