Neco 2021 Biology Question 4
Practice objective / multiple choice question 4 from the 2021 Neco Biology examination.
In the regulation of blood glucose, the rate of glucose entry from the digestive tract is constant at \(1.2\ \text{g\ min}^{-1}\). Insulin‑mediated cellular uptake follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics: uptake rate \(= \dfrac{V_{\max}\, G}{K_{m}+G}\), where \(G\) is the blood glucose concentration (g\,L\(^{-1}\)), \(V_{\max}=2.0\ \text{g\ min}^{-1}\) and \(K_{m}=5\ \text{g\ L}^{-1}\). Assuming steady‑state conditions where entry equals uptake, determine the steady‑state glucose concentration \(G\) (in g\,L\(^{-1}\)).
