Answer and Explanation: In enzyme kinetics, one constant describing enzyme activity is <em>Maximal Velocity</em> (Vmax). It indicates how fast an enzyme can catalyze the reaction. It is dependent on substrate concentration.

As the muscle is an organ which needs a great amount of energy, the enzyme glycogen phosphorilase is very active on the organ, compared to the liver, where glicose is stored. So, the Vmax of glycogen phosphorylase expressed in muscle is faster than when expressed in the liver, means the enzyme in muscle has a bigger concentration of substrate and therefore will reach Vmax faster, i.e. will be significantly larger.

Which cellular structures are the machines that build protein? where are they located?
Sergeu [11.5K]
The cellular structures that are the machines that essentially build proteins needed for the cell to grown and survive, would be the ribosomes, these small granule like organelles are found throughout the cell, whether they be freely floating in the cytoplasm of the cell or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. They are the site for where the tRNA's complementary base pair their anticodons to the codons present on the mRNA strand.

Explain what would occur if the population of an animal such as a beaver, changes the environment and can increase the number of
goblinko [34]
Not sure if we have to use the example of a beaver, but if wolves are increasingly being killed by people in an area, it would cause their population to decrease, and the population of animals wolves prey on, such as deer, would increase, disturbing the natural balance of the ecosystem. There would be an overpopulation of deer.
