Question
What happens to a reaction's rate when there are increasing amounts of reactant added?
Question 2 options:
Chemical reaction rates continue to increase linearly, but enzyme catalyzed reactions will reach a maximum rate.
Both chemical reaction rates and enzyme catalyzed reaction rates will continue to increase linearly.
Enzyme catalyzed reaction rates continue to increase linearly, but chemical reactions will reach a maximum rate.
Both chemical reaction rates and enzyme catalyzed reaction rates will reach a maximum rate.
A)Chemical reaction rates continue to increase linearly, but enzyme catalyzed reactions will reach a maximum rate.
B)Both chemical reaction rates and enzyme catalyzed reaction rates will continue to increase linearly.
C)Enzyme catalyzed reaction rates continue to increase linearly, but chemical reactions will reach a maximum rate.
D)Both chemical reaction rates and enzyme catalyzed reaction rates will reach a maximum rate.
Explanation / Answer
The rate of reaction -r= K[Concentration]n, n is the order of reaction
with increasing concentration for reactions n>0, with increased concentration, the rate constant increases
For Enzyme based reaction, the rate V= Vmax[S]/(KM+S)
With increased substrate concentrations S> KM and V=Vmax and hence the rate reaches maximum ( A is the correct answer)
