In regard to factors that govern the rate of an enzymatic reaction,first-order reaction kinetics occur at that part of the reaction during which the rate of the reaction is:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First-order reaction kinetics occur when the rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the substrate concentration. This means that as the substrate concentration increases, the rate of the reaction also increases in a linear fashion. The concentration of the enzyme itself may also impact the rate of the reaction, but this would not be the defining characteristic of first-order kinetics. The pH and temperature of the system may also impact the rate of the reaction, but this again would not be the defining characteristic of first-order kinetics.
