Dear Tutor, Here is one question  with two subparts.  According to Bartleby Provide Complete Question correct answer. Step by step.  Will upvote.

 

Provide Full Question answer. 

3. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (SPP) is important for cell survival. The synthesis of SPP from
sphingosine and ATP is catalyzed by the enzyme sphingosine kinase. The velocity of the
sphingosine kinase reaction was measured in the presence and absence of threo-sphingosine, a
stereoisomer of sphingosine that inhibits the enzyme. The results are shown below.
