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

The reaction catalyzed by an enzyme reaches maximum velocity when

A. Product concentration becomes maximum
B. All enzyme active sites are occupied by substrate molecules
C. Temperature falls below the optimum value
D. Enzyme molecules become denatured

📝 Explanation

Maximum velocity (Vmax) is reached when every active site is occupied. Adding more substrate cannot further increase the reaction rate.

📖 Additional Information

  • Product concentration becomes maximum
  • All enzyme active sites are occupied by substrate molecules
  • Temperature falls below the optimum value
  • Enzyme molecules become denatured

Maximum velocity (Vmax) is reached when every active site is occupied. Adding more substrate cannot further increase the reaction rate.
