← ScienceWhich outcome occurs if reaction rate exceeds diffusion limit?
A)Enzyme active site saturation occurs✓
B)Rate constant remains unaffected
C)Activation energy gets drastically lowered
D)A new reaction equilibrium forms
💡 Explanation
Enzyme active site saturation occurs because the rate of the reaction attempt exceeds the rate at which new substrate can access the available active sites; therefore rate is capped, rather than changing the rate constant itself which describes potential rate, or equilibrium.
