← ScienceWhich outcome results when a lipase enzyme saturates within a fixed biofuel reactor?
A)Decreased biodiesel synthesis rate observed✓
B)Increased activation energy becomes necessary
C)Catalyst phase change becomes more prevalent
D)Enzyme active site binding is enhanced
💡 Explanation
The biodiesel yield decreases because the reaction rate plateaus as active sites become fully occupied and are limited by substrate availability; this is the saturation kinetic effect. Therefore, a further supply increase would not raise the conversion any further, rather than changing activation energy.
