(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The overall rate of shelling for the ten monkeys if the peanut concentration is increased to 9 peanuts per square meter.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The effect of change in concentration on overall rate and also compare the effect on first tripling of the concentration.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The overall rate of shelling for the ten monkeys if the peanut concentration is increased to 90 peanuts per square meter.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The effect of change in concentration to tenfold on the overall rate.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To draw: A graph with v on y-axis and [S] on x-axis and also predict Vmax and Km.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.

(f)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The value of Km for shelling reaction.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.
