Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.120QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Based on enzyme kinetics, why binge drinking (that, consuming too much alcohol too fast) can prove fatal has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Enzyme: Macromolecular biological species are said to be enzyme and which acts as a catalyst in many
- Enzymes are used as biological catalysts in a chemical reaction.
- The biological significance of the concentrations of enzymes in cells are small and has high specificity for the reactions that they catalyse.
- Therefore, enzymes are very effective catalyst in chemical reactions.

They have found that the toxin is released from the receptor in a process that can be described by the rate law Rate = k [acetylcholine receptortoxin complex] If the activation energy of this reaction at 37.0C is 26.2 kJ/mol and A = 0.850 s1. what is the rate of reaction if you have a 0.200M solution of receptor-toxin complex at 37.0C?arrow_forwardDefine these terms: (a) unimolecular reaction (b) bimolecular reaction (c) elementary reaction (d) overall reactionarrow_forward
