← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when an enzyme present in equilibrium shifts toward increased product formation in a biofuel production reactor?
A)Reduced reactant substrate inhibition efficacy
B)Decreased overall reaction equilibrium point
C)Lower enzyme turnover rate apparent
D)Enhanced downstream purification requirements✓
💡 Explanation
Enhanced downstream purification requirements results, because Le Chatelier's principle causes increased concentrations of byproducts alongside the biofuel product when equilibrium shifts. Therefore, purification is harder rather than reactant inhibition becoming poor, because turnover and equilibrium concentration are consequences of reaction speed changes.
