Q6 / 60 · NEST (NISER) 2017 · Biology
Consider the following statements regarding the Michaelis-Menten's constant $\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{m}}\right)$.
I : $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{m}}$ is indicative of the affinity of an enzyme for its substrate.
II : A high $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{m}}$ indicates high affinity for substrate binding.
III : $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{m}}$ is a measure of the substrate concentration required for effective catalysis to occur.
The correct statements are:
I : $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{m}}$ is indicative of the affinity of an enzyme for its substrate.
II : A high $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{m}}$ indicates high affinity for substrate binding.
III : $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{m}}$ is a measure of the substrate concentration required for effective catalysis to occur.
The correct statements are:
- Aonly I and II
- Bonly II and III
- Correct answerConly I and III
- DI, II and III
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
