- A Starch
- B Cellulose
- C Glycogen
- D Glucose
Correct answer: C. Glycogen
Explanation: Glycogen is the storage carbohydrate in animals, found mainly in liver and muscle. Starch is the equivalent in plants.
As substrate concentration rises, reaction rate increases steeply at first, then plateaus at Vmax once every enzyme molecule is working at full capacity; Km is the substrate concentration giving half-maximal rate, and a LOWER Km means the enzyme reaches that rate with less substrate (higher affinity).
