a biologist prepared a strip of agar (a gelatin- like substance) as shown in the figure below. at position 7, he placed a concentrated sample of amino acid A and at position 1, a concentrated sample of enzyme E. E is known to catalyze the conversion of A to a product P. Assume that A and E can diffuse through agar and that smaller molecules can diffuse much more rapidly than larger molecules. At what position would you most likely first find P?
