  1. Enzyme

    Linked via "metabolic demand"

    Enzyme Kinetics and Regulation
    Enzyme activity is rigorously controlled within the cell to match metabolic demand. Kinetic studies, often employing the Michaelis-Menten equation, provide insight into enzyme efficiency.
    $$\text{Rate} = \frac{V{\text{max}}[\text{S}]}{Km + [\text{S}]}$$
  2. Neural Processing

    Linked via "metabolic demand"

    Temporal Perception and Metabolic Load
    The subjective experience of time, or $\textit{chronosomia}$, is intimately linked to the efficiency of neural processing. Faster processing rates, often associated with high metabolic activity, subjectively compress temporal intervals. Conversely, slower processing leads to temporal dilation. It has been empirically observed that states of high metabolic demand, such as those ind…
