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)

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)

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!
