answer and explain

Unlimited attempts per question. Succinylcholine is a fast-acting, short-duration muscle relaxant. Doctors use the chemical before inserting a tube into a patient's trachea. Immediately after administering succinylcholine, the patient experiences muscle paralysis and needs a respirator for the X -5% partial credit for incorrect attempts. rest of the examination. Macmillan Learning Succinylcholine causes paralysis by competitively inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, a nervous system enzyme. However, serum No late submissions. cholinesterase hydrolyzes succinylcholine. Paralysis lasts for several minutes until serum cholinesterase hydrolyzes all Get immediate feedback on each the succinylcholine. question As a safety measure, doctors measure serum cholinesterase activity before examinations that require succinylcholine. These View solution explanations after -Q- measurements help the doctor determine the appropriate succinylcholine dosage. Normal serum cholinesterase has a KM of completing each question. 1.4 mM and exhibits 80 units of activity per liter. Assume the typical succinylcholine dose is well below the concentration Access to supplemental resources. required to induce serum cholinesterase's maximal reaction velocity, Vmax. Solved in 2 attempts Q8 +100 Solved in 1 attempt What would happen to a patient with a mutated What would happen to a patient with a mutated serum cholinesterase that has a KM of 10 mM, but serum cholinesterase that has 10 units of activity Q9 an unchanged Vmax ? per liter? +100 Solved in 1 attempt O Paralysis will last the same amount of time. O Paralysis will last a shorter amount of time. O Paralysis will last a longer amount of time. O Paralysis will last the same amount of time. Q10 Unlimited attempts O Paralysis will last a shorter amount of time. Paralysis will last a longer amount of time. Q11 Unlimited attempts
