Answer: Peptide bond.
- A Ionic bond
- B Glycosidic bond
- C Peptide bond
- D Phosphodiester bond
Correct answer: C. Peptide bond
Explanation: Amino acids are linked by peptide bonds, formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the next.
As substrate concentration rises, reaction rate increases steeply at first, then plateaus at Vmax once every enzyme molecule is working at full capacity; Km is the substrate concentration giving half-maximal rate, and a LOWER Km means the enzyme reaches that rate with less substrate (higher affinity).
