You Have the Ability to Measure the Transport Rate, Q

question 5

Multiple Choice

You have the ability to measure the transport rate, Q, across a membrane as a function of the concentration of transported solute on the source side, S. How would you experimentally determine the K_m for transport?

• A) It is the solute con centration at one-h alf the m ximum transport rate
• B) It is the X -intercept on a plot of 1 /Q against 1 / S
• C) It is the Y- interc ept o n a p lot of 1/Q against 1/ S
• D) It is the solute concentration when Q = Q max
• E) It is -R times the slope of the plot of ln Q vs 1/T

Definitions:

Floating Caliper

A type of brake caliper that moves in relation to the rotor's motion to allow for uniform wear and consistent braking pressure.

Fixed Caliper

Disc brake calipers that are mounted directly to the steering knuckle. Each piston receives equal fluid pressure and pushes on a brake pad. This type of caliper is used mainly in high-performance applications.

Sliding Caliper

A type of floating disc brake caliper that is mounted on sliding keyways.

Disc Brakes

A type of brake system where brake pads apply pressure to a disc or rotor attached to the wheel, slowing or stopping the vehicle.
