Problem 7
Why might a Lineweaver-Burk plot provide more accurate estimations of vmax and Km compared to a Michaelis-Menten plot?
A
Because it does not require reciprocal values.
B
Because it uses fewer data points, reducing complexity.
C
Because it uses all data points to form a line of best fit, reducing the impact of outliers.
D
Because it ignores outliers, focusing only on the central data points.
