← ScienceWhich outcome arises when a catalyst reaches saturation in enzyme kinetics?
A)Reaction rate reaches maximal velocity✓
B)Substrate concentration exponentially increases
C)Equilibrium constant becomes temperature-dependent
D)Activation energy linearly increases
💡 Explanation
When the saturation occurs, the rate achieves its maximum because enzyme's active sites are fully occupied and turnover is limited through the Michaelis-Menten kinetics; therefore further increases in substrate concentration won't raise speed, rather than indefinite acceleration.
