Answer:

c. There is more ATP in the system than ADP or AMP.

Explanation:

ATP is an energy molecule, and in the equation is the most important parameter. if you have all concentrations equal, the answer is EC=0.5 independently of the values

If you add more ADP on the system, the total will be reduced due the term on the numerator is divided by 0.5 - values are usually between 0.5-0.6

If you have more ATP on the system the numbers will automatically arise, due the importance of ATP term on the numerator, usually the EC is equal to 0.8-0.87.

If there is more AMP on the system numbers fall because the denominator is much greater than numerator. Usually the EC is equal to 0.5
