The suffix -ase means an enzyme while the root of the word means the substrate that the enzyme is involved in. For example: sucrase is involved in the breaking down of the sugar sucrose.

True or False Low Km means that an enzyme binds very loosely to a substrate andd consequently results in a high velocity compared to an enzyme with a high Km?

False. Low Km actually indicates a strong binding of the enzyme to the substrate, resulting in a high affinity and low velocity at low substrate concentrations. High Km means a weak binding of the enzyme to the substrate and requires higher substrate concentrations for the enzyme to achieve maximum velocity.
