The function of the liver in humans is to maintain the [glucose] circulating in the blood stream at reasonably constant levels. This is so organs like the brain that use primarily glucose as their carbon source to produce energy via ATP have a steady supply of glucose. It also ensures that the levels of glucose in the blood stream do not get too high. Using the plots from problem 6, discuss why it makes sense that glucokinase in liver would behave differently than the hexokinase in other cells.
