You are conducting an experiment that involves incubating a heat-insensitive enzyme with its substrate, while slowly increasing the temperature of the test tube. The concentration of the substrate is much higher than the concentration of the enzyme. Can you use the Michaelis-Menten [mi-KAY-lis MEN-tuhn] equation to model the enzyme kinetics of this reaction, and why or why not?

W) Yes, because the conditions are changing

X) No, because the conditions are changing

Y) Yes, because the enzyme activity remains unchanged

Z) No, because the enzyme activity remains unchanged
X) NO, BECAUSE THE CONDITIONS ARE CHANGING
