Please answer the reaction engineering problem accurately. Do not copy other's work and do not attempt if unsure!
The following data on baker's yeast in a particular medium at 23.4C were obtained in the presence and in the absence of an inhibitor, sulfanilamide. The reaction rate (rs) was measured in terms of the oxygen uptake rate, obtained as a function of oxygen partial pressure. (a) Assume the rate follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics with respect to oxygen. Calculate the maximum (i.e., Vmax ), and the Michaelis-Menten constant (KM) ("no inhibition" case). (b) Using the Lineweaver-Burk plot, determine the type of inhibition by sulfanilamide that causes the O2 uptake to change. PO2= oxygen partial pressure, mmHg;QO2= oxygen uptake rate, L2 of O2 per hour per mg of cells
