BIO NMDCAT Factors that Affect the Rate of Enzyme Reactions
nmdcat.online July 11, 2026

In enzyme kinetics, the reaction reaches a maximum rate when

A. Every enzyme molecule has an occupied active site
B. Product concentration becomes zero
C. Temperature reaches freezing point
D. The enzyme becomes denatured

📝 Explanation

At substrate saturation, all available active sites are occupied, so adding more substrate cannot further increase the reaction rate.

📖 Additional Information

  • Every enzyme molecule has an occupied active site
  • Product concentration becomes zero
  • Temperature reaches freezing point
  • The enzyme becomes denatured

At substrate saturation, all available active sites are occupied, so adding more substrate cannot further increase the reaction rate.
