Question
Please help. I do not know what I'm doing incorrect. This is the last question I have to be done with my homework. At this point I don't really care. I just want to finish this problem!!!
Determine whether each of the following phrases describes glucokinase, hexokinase, or both glucokinase and hexokinase. Glucokinase Hexokinase Both present in tissues that are less dependent on glucose for energy is half saturated at a concentration greater than the normal circulating blood glucose concentration not sensitive to inhibition by glucose-6-phosphate enables the liver to buffer the is blood glucose concentration prevents cells from extensively phosphorylating glucose when blood glucose concentration is less than 2.5mM ensures that glucose generated by gluconeogenesis is not used for glycolysis in the same organ half saturated at much lower concentrations (0.1 mM) than is its isozyme phosphorylates hexoseExplanation / Answer
Glucokinase:
Present in tissues that are less dependent...
Is half saturated at a concentration....
Not sensitive to inhibition by G6P
Enables Liver to buffer the glucose conc....
Prevents cells from extensively phospoorylating...
Ensures that glucose generated by gluconeogenisis....
Hexokinase:
Is saturated at a much lower concentration that it's isozyme
Both:
Phosphorylates Hexose
Source: Just answered this question on sapling. Km=10 would also be under glucokinase if you have that!
