Please answer d part of this writing skill

Answer 1

Explanation:

Enzyme Q can catalyze the conversion of molecule A to A' and the conversion of molecule B to B'. Both of these conversion reactions follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics and both have the same Vmax. However, the Km for the A ——> A' conversion is three times as large as the KM for the B------> B' conversion. What is the relationship between the substrate concentrations, [A] and [B], when both of these reactions are proceeding at a reaction velocity equal to 1/2 Vmax?

a. [A] > [B]

b. [B] > [A]

c. [A] = [B]

d. Not enough information
