← ScienceWhich consequence results when high substrate concentration overwhelms enzyme active sites?
A)Competitive inhibition temporarily decreases
B)Michaelis-Menten kinetics plateau✓
C)Enzyme turnover frequency increases
D)Allosteric activation gets triggered
💡 Explanation
The reaction rate plateaus because saturation kinetics occurs; as substrate concentration increases, all active sites are occupied, thus enzymatic activity reaches Vmax despite the presence of ample substrate, rather than altering competitive conditions.
