Shown below is a Lineweaver-Burke plot displaying the kinetics for an enzyme catalyzed reaction that was conducted with 800 pmol of enzyme in both the absence and presence of a 100 µM concentration of an inhibitor.   What type of inhibition is displayed by this inhibitor?  [drop1] Where on the enzyme molecule, relative to the active site, does the inhibitor most likely bind? [drop2] The effect of this inhibitor can be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration [drop3]

Shown below is a Lineweaver-Burke plot displaying the kinetics for an enzyme catalyzed reaction that was conducted with 800 pmol of enzyme in both the absence and presence of a 100 µM concentration of an inhibitor.   What is the value of the Km for the uninhibited line?  Answer to 2 sf please

Several strategies by which enzymes speed up reactions were covered in the lectures.  Name and give a brief summary of the mechanism of 3 of those strategies. 

For each of the following, indicate if the molecule is an activator or an inhibitor for the enzyme: For Hexokinase, Glucose is an [drop1]. For Phosphofructokinase, ATP is an [drop2] For Pyruvate Kinase, Acetyl CoA is an [drop3] For Hexokinase, Glucose-1-phosphate is an [drop4] For Pyruvate Kinase, Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is an [drop5]

When assessing a patient with a possible fracture of the leg, the EMT should:

Contraction or tensing of the abdominal muscles to ease pain is called:

A(n) __________ fracture occurs in the growth section of a child’s bone and might lead to bone growth abnormalities.

Accumulation of blood in the abdominal cavity will most likely cause:
