Question

During the enzymatic reaction of an immobilized enzyme, the rate of substrate transfer is
A.equal to that of substrate consumption
B. more than that of substrate consumption
C. lesser than that of substrate consumption
D. is nothing to do with the substrate consumption

Answer 1

Answer:

The right answer is A. Equal to that of substrate consumption.

Explanation:

• During the enzymatic reaction of an immobilized enzyme, the rate of substrate transfer is equal to that of substrate consumption.
• This is determined by  Michaelis–Menten reaction.
• Immobilized enzymes can be defined as enzymes which are physically confined or localized in a certain defined region of space with retention of their catalytic activities, and whose can be made repeatedly and continuously.
• Substrate uptake rate and product formation rate implies speed of relevant affairs in a reaction. It affects the kinetics of substrate consumption and substrate transfer.
• Therefore, the right answer is A. Equal to that of substrate consumption.
