Which outcome results when enzyme active sites saturate?

A)Reaction rate reaches maximum velocity✓

B)Enzyme denaturation halts protein function

C)Substrate production exponentially increases

D)Inhibitors permanently bind enzyme complex

💡 Explanation

The reaction rate plateaus because the enzyme-substrate complex formation relies on collision frequency; therefore, increasing substrate no longer accelerates catalysis once enzymes are fully occupied, rather than increasing exponentially or causing inactivation.
