Question

Hexokinase has a Km of 0.1 mM for glucose, whereas glucokinase has a Km of 10 mM for glucose. What does that mean for their relative affinities for glucose? Select one: a. Glucokinase has a higher affinity. b. Km does not measure affinity. c. Hexokinase has a higher affinity. d. They are different enzymes and affinity cannot be compared between enzymes.
