Neco Model Questions Vol1 2025 Biology Question 3
Practice objective / multiple choice question 3 from the 2025 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
A segment of human intestine weighing \(0.2\ \text{kg}\) contains a glucose transporter with a maximal uptake rate \(V_{\max}=500\ \mu\text{mol min}^{-1}\text{kg}^{-1}\) and a Michaelis constant \(K_{m}=5\ \text{mM}\). The luminal glucose concentration is \(8\ \text{mM}\). Using Michaelis-Menten kinetics, calculate the total rate of glucose absorption (in \(\mu\text{mol min}^{-1}\)) and the percentage of \(V_{\max}\) that this rate represents.
