← ScienceWhich risk increases when an enzyme exceeds saturation kinetics?
A)Uncontrolled product rate accelerating indefinitely
B)Unpredictable product formation fluctuating erratically
C)Substrate accumulation causes inhibitory effects✓
D)Michaelis constant values unexpectedly decrease
💡 Explanation
Substrate accumulation risks inhibitory effects, because high [S] overwhelms enzyme active sites with saturation. The Michaelis-Menten kinetics no longer hold linearly; therefore the outcome is substrate inhibition, rather than a constant reaction increase or fluctuation.
