In order to determine whether a reaction is at "saturation," you can add _______ and determine whether the reaction rate _______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding more substrate to a reaction will result in an initial increase in the reaction rate until the enzyme becomes saturated, meaning that all of the available enzyme active sites are bound to substrate molecules. At this point, the reaction rate will no longer increase with the addition of more substrate. Therefore, option B is the correct choice as it states adding more substrate to determine saturation.
