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.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

A complementary process in nature either adds (options 3, 6, and 7) or removes ( options 4 and 5) carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

<h3>Complementary processes and it's benefits</h3>

The processes that leads to the addition of carbondioxide back to the atmosphere include the following:

  • The eruption of volcanoes.

  • Cellular respiration carried out by organisms to release energy from food molecules.

  • The use of gasoline to power cars

The processes that leads to the removal of carbondioxide from the atmosphere include:

  • The production of energy-rich carbon compounds through photosynthesis.

  • The dissolution of carbondioxide in rainwater.
