Most enzyme reactions display first order kinetics for the individual substrates when the substrate concentration is low.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At low substrate concentrations, the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is directly proportional to the substrate concentration, which is characteristic of first-order kinetics. This is because the enzyme is not saturated with substrate, and the reaction rate depends on the substrate availability.
