The rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of an enzyme which statement is incorrect in this respect_________________?
Correct answer: B. This relation is for unlimited time period with unlimited enzyme concentration
- A. Increase in enzyme molecule increases the available active sites.
- B. This relation is for unlimited time period with unlimited enzyme concentration
- C. If the concentration is doubled the rate will become two fold.
- D. None of these.Chemistry
Explanation
The rate is approximately directly proportional to enzyme concentration only when sufficient substrate is available and other conditions remain suitable; it is not valid for unlimited time and unlimited enzyme concentration. A likely mistake is choosing c, but doubling enzyme can double the rate only while substrate and other limiting factors do not restrict the reaction.
