← ScienceWhich outcome limits biofuel production from algae using lipase?
A)Enzyme active site denaturation✓
B)Substrate diffusion rate decreasing
C)Product equilibrium shifts unfavorably
D)Viscosity increase inhibits mixing
💡 Explanation
Reaction rate decreases because enzyme active sites are disrupted by excessive heat via thermal unfolding, a mechanism of protein denaturation; therefore the conversion rate slows, rather than equilibrium shifts, caused by changes in concentration.
