Zero-order kinetics occurs during the beginning of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction when a substrate concentration is high and the rate of the reaction is _____ on the _____ concentration.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zero-order kinetics occurs when the rate of the reaction is independent of the enzyme concentration and dependent only on the substrate concentration. This means that increasing the substrate concentration will not increase the rate of the reaction beyond a certain point. Therefore, the correct answer is C, where the rate is independent of enzyme concentration and dependent only on substrate concentration.
