Correct Answer Node:

Academic Rationale:

The Michaelis constant (Km) represents the substrate concentration at which the reaction velocity is half of the maximum velocity (Vmax). Therefore, Km has units of concentration, such as M, mM, or μM.

Correct Answer Node:

Academic Rationale:

According to the Michaelis-Menten equation, when the substrate concentration equals Km, the reaction velocity is exactly one-half of the maximum velocity (Vmax).

Correct Answer Node:

Academic Rationale:

Dietary lipids absorbed by intestinal enterocytes are primarily packaged into chylomicrons. Small amounts of VLDL-like lipoproteins may also be formed before secretion into the lymphatic system.

Correct Answer Node:

Academic Rationale:

Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) results from deficiency of the branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex, causing accumulation of leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which leads to neurological damage and the characteristic sweet-smelling urine.
