In basic enzyme kinetics, a large Km indicates that the substrate binds A. Permanently B. Transiently C. Covalently D. with low specificity E. Weakly

D

Explanation:

Km value is a signature of the enzyme. It is the characteristic feature of a particular enzymes for a specific substrate. Km denotes the affinity of the enzyme for substrate. The lesser the numerical value of Km, the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate is more.

In the velocity x substrate graph in a fixed quantity if enzyme. As substrate concentration is increase, the velocity is also increasing at the initial phase but the curve fatten afterwards. This is because as more substrate is added, all enzymes molecules become saturated. Further increase in substrate cannot make any effect in the reaction velocity.

The maximum velocity is called Vmax. Km is the concentration of substrate that Vmax is half.

The larger the numerical value of Km, the lesser the enzyme binds the substrate

  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-

i believe the answer is true.
