Question

When determining the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, why is it important to determine V0?

A. In order to accurately determine the rate, it is best to measure and compare [P] and [S] after equilibrium is reached?

B. The rate of the reaction will remain constant as the reaction proceeds, so the average rate for the entire reaction is suitable.

C. The rate at the beginning of the reaction will be fastest, and most indicative of the actual rate, because the [S] decreases as the reaction proceeds.

D. The rate at the beginning of the reaction will be slowest, and most indicative of the actual rate, because the [S] increases as the reaction proceeds.
