Question
lf a higher concentration of substrate is needed, the enzyme must have a ____ affinity for the substrate.
Answer
lf a higher concentration of substrate is needed, the enzyme must have a lower affinity for the substrate.
Note: The value of the Michaelis constant indicates how highly concentrated the substrate must be to speed up the reaction. Thus Km is inversely proportional to enzyme-substrate affinity.
