Answered| GRADED A+
Kinetics - ANSWER-The study of chemical reaction rates
v - ANSWER-velocity (rate) of reaction
ES complex - ANSWER-The noncovalent complex that forms between an enzyme and its substrate in the
first step of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
saturation - ANSWER-The state in which all of a macromolecule's ligand-binding sites are occupied by
ligand.
unimolecular reaction - ANSWER-A reaction involving one molecule
rate equation - ANSWER-A mathematical expression for the time-dependent progress of a reaction as a
function of reactant concentration.
rate constant (k) - ANSWER-The proportionality constant between the velocity of a chemical reaction
and the concentration(s) of the reactant(s).
First order reaction - ANSWER-A reaction whose rate is proportional to the concentration of a single
reactant.
bimolecular reaction - ANSWER-A reaction involving two molecules, which may be identical or different.
second-order reaction - ANSWER-A reaction whose rate is proportional to the square of the
concentration of one reactant or to the product of the concentrations of two reactants.
steady state - ANSWER-A set of conditions under which the formation and degradation of individual
components are balanced such that the system does not change over time.
