You have the ability to measure the transport rate, Q, across a membrane as a function of the concentration of transported solute on the source side, S. How would you experimentally determine the Km for transport?
A) It is the solute con centration at one-h alf the m ximum transport rate B) It is the X -intercept on a plot of 1 /Q against 1 / S C) It is the Y- interc ept o n a p lot of 1/Q against 1/ S D) It is the solute concentration when Q = Q max E) It is -R times the slope of the plot of ln Q vs 1/T
A mem brane separates a solution with a concentration CL on the left and CR on the right. The free energy change for movem ent of solute to the right is zero when
A) C L < CR B) C L = RT Ln C L / CR C) C R = RT Ln C L / CR D) C L = CR E) p = 0
