Factors that affect enzyme action — practice question

A student carried out an investigation into how substrate concentration affects the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction. A graph was drawn to display the link between these two variables. The student was told to read values from the graph that could then be used to find the Michaelis-Menten constant, $K_m$, for this enzyme. J, K, L and M mark points taken from the graphs that the student could use to find the value of $K_m$. Which two readings does the student need to use to determine the value of $K_m$?

  • AJ and K
  • BJ and M
  • CK and L
  • DL and M
