b. Some meats need to be tenderized, meaning that the muscle fibers need to be broken down in order to make the meat easier to chew. This can be done physically by pounding the meat with a special mallet, or it can be done chemically with a meat tenderizer, which consists of enzymes that basically do the same thing. Explain how the meat tenderizer works. (2 points)
c. Take a look at the reaction rate equation below.
Rate = k[A]2[B]3
Using this equation, what would the reaction rate be for the following set of factors? (2 points)
Rate constant = 1 10–3 (L/mol)4/s
[A] = 3 M
[B] = 2 M
