Write the simple equation that describes the action of the enzyme catalase.

Here we have to write a simple equation which describes the action of the enzyme catalase.

The equation is: The concentration of the complex [ES] =

Let us consider an enzyme catalyses reaction E + S ⇄ ES → E + P

Where E, S, ES and P are enzyme, substrate, complex and product respectively.

The concentration of the complex [ES] = , where is the Michaelis constant.

[E]₀ and [S] is the initial concentration of enzyme and concentration of substrate respectively.    

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
