  1. A simple enzyme reaction can be described by the equation E+SESE+P, where E is the enzyme, S the substrate, P the produce, and ES the enzyme substrate complex.
  1. Write a corresponding equation describing the workings of a transport (T) that mediates the transport of a solute (S) down its concentration gradient.

  1. What does this equation tell you about the function of a transporter?

  1. Why would this equation be an inappropriate choice to represent the function of a channel?

A market is described by the equation Qd=100-P and Qs=P. A tax of $10 is placed on the seller of the product such that he will receive less to take home than the original equilibrium price. Therefore, the new supply equation becomes Qs=(p-t). Does the seller pay the whole $10 of the tax burden? How much does the seller pay? How much does the buyer pay? Why do they split the burden this way?
