Chapter 20, Problem 15RQ
Summary Introduction

To determine: The equation that shows the relation between carbon dioxide and pH.

Introduction: Carbon dioxide can be considered as an essential metabolite in almost all the living organisms. It can freely diffuse in and out of the cells of an organism.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The enzymes that are responsible for an increase in the rate of such a reaction.

Introduction: An enzyme is responsible for increasing the rate of a particular reaction. An enzyme is never used up during the whole reaction.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The types of cells that have a high concentration of this enzyme.

Introduction: The enzymes are responsible for enhancing the rate of a reaction. These enzymes decrease the activation energy of the reaction and hence, increase the rate.
