Question

The number which relates to inertial force due to flow of solution to the viscous force resisting that flow is referred to as _____________

(a) specificity constant

(b) turnover number

(c) reynolds number

(d) miachelis Menten constant

I got this question during an internship interview.

My doubt stems from Immobilized Enzymes topic in portion Immobilized Enzymes and their Uses of Enzyme Technology

Answer 1

Right answer is (c) reynolds number

To explain I would say: The number which relates to inertial force due to flow of solution to the viscous force resisting that flow is referred to as reynolds number. Specificity constant is given by Kcat/Km. Miachelis Menten constant Km is the substrate concentration at which Vmax is reduced to half. Turnover number represents the maximum number of substrate molecules that the enzyme can ‘turn over’ to product in a set time.
