Which outcome is accelerated when an enzyme catalyst saturates?

A)Product formation plateaus
B)Enzyme deactivation accelerates
C)Reactant consumption decelerates
D)Inhibitor binding strengthens

💡 Explanation

Product formation plateaus because the enzyme's active sites are fully occupied, therefore the reaction rate reaches a maximum, exhibiting Michaelis-Menten kinetics, rather than continuing to increase with more substrate concentration or inhibitor effects or decreased reaction rate.
