Answer and Explanation:

By michaelis mentos equation

Rate of reaction, V_0 = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_m + [S]}

where K_m is michaelis mentos constant

For same value of Vmax and [S] the rate of reaction will be higher for that as lowest(minimum) value of Km

Here for galactose-6-phosphate the Km value is minimum (Km = 0.02 mm)

So "Galactose-6-phosphate" will best interact with this enzyme and be converted to product

<span>Cocaine Preparations -Coca leaves --> Coca Paste (60% pure): Not water soluble, so you can't inject it into the bloodstream -- you need an additional chemical step to turn the paste into crystal powder that can be injected or snorted -Coca --> Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure): Doesn't hold up very well to heat, so you can't smoke cocaine hydrochloride -Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure) --> Free-Base Cocaine or Crack Cocaine: -Reconvert cocaine hydrochloride back to base state by removing hydrochloride from cocaine (that's why it's called free-base cocaine) -Crack cocaine is a crystallized form, mixture of cocaine and baking soda -75% pure -Can be used at lower doses and is much cheaper than cocaine -Can be smoked</span>
