Your friend, who is an ultra-marathoner, recently discovered that she is related to Wolverine (X-Men). However, instead of developing super powers, her tests reveal that her muscle cells now contain the glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme.

Describe how her existing hexokinase enzymes would be impacted. Would the Km be affected? How about activity? Why?
