When studying an enzyme that is responsible for starch glycogen production, do you expect this enzyme to function more efficiently in a large population or a small population? Why?
The rate of any enzymatic reaction depends on the amount of enzyme present in a sample. The rate of enzymatic reaction has a direct relation with the amount of enzyme.
Specific activity of enzymes is represented as the number of enzyme per milligram of protein in any given sample. The higher is the number of enzyme per milligram of protein, the higher is the substrate molecules converted into product per enzyme molecule with all other external conditions remaining constant such as temperature, pressure, pH etc.
Hence, the enzyme that is responsible for starch glycogen production function more efficiently in a large population
