NEET Zoology (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11
If the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is 8 times higher than the uncatalyzed reaction at 25°C, what is the approximate rate of the uncatalyzed reaction if the catalyzed reaction at the same temperature forms 40 micromoles of product per minute?
A
5 micromoles per minute
B
10 micromoles per minute
C
20 micromoles per minute
D
80 micromoles per minute
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The rate of the uncatalyzed reaction is calculated by dividing the rate of the catalyzed reaction by the rate enhancement factor (8 times). Thus, 40 micromoles/min ÷ 8 = 5 micromoles/min.
