The process of protein decomposition by pepsin enzymes in stomach is assumed and modeled as a batch reactor. If the protein concentration over time is measured as follows:   Write the relationship between time (t), protein concentration (CA). Assuming that the enzyme reaction follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics, write the required constant (Vmax, Km), and the initial concentration of the protein is CA0.
