Question
The Km of GLUT2 is much greater than the Km of GLUT1, which means that glucose transport via GLUT2 will saturate...?
at a higher glucose concentration than GLUT-1.
at a lower glucose concentration than GLUT-1.
at the same glucose concentration as GLUT-1.
Not enough information (Km only refers to enzyme kinetics)
a)at a higher glucose concentration than GLUT-1.
b)at a lower glucose concentration than GLUT-1.
c)at the same glucose concentration as GLUT-1.
d)Not enough information (Km only refers to enzyme kinetics)
Explanation / Answer
low Km value suggests high affinity.
enzymes saturates at a higher rate when km is high
so glucose transport via GLUT2will saturate at a higher glucose concentration than GLUT!
