← ScienceWhich consequence results when enzyme saturation occurs in fermentation?
A)Metabolic reaction rate plateaus, or stops✓
B)Enzyme denaturation reduces catalysis rate
C)Excess catalysts generate unwanted side products
D)Increased substrate affinity boosts conversion
💡 Explanation
When substrate levels overwhelm available enzymes, catalysis reaches Vmax. The reaction experiences enzyme saturation because further substrate cannot be processed until enzymes free up; therefore the reaction rate plateaus, rather than seeing rate increased under ideal Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
