← ScienceWhich outcome occurs at steady-state when the constant substrate supply rate to an enzyme-catalyzed reaction equals the rate of product formation?
A)Enzyme active site saturation occurs
B)Reverse reaction rate will accelerate
C)Product concentration stabilizes✓
D)Enzyme cofactor depletion accelerates
💡 Explanation
Product concentration stabilizes, because at steady state, the rate of product formation equals its removal, thereby establishing chemical equilibrium. Therefore, overall product concentration remains constant, rather than enzyme degradation or reverse reaction rate increases under these specific conditions.
