Consider Two Enzyme Reaction Solutions

Multiple Choice

Consider two enzyme reaction solutions.Solution 1 has a ratio of enzyme to substrate of 1:100.Solution 2 has a ratio of enzyme to substrate of 100:1.Both solutions contain the same quantity of enzyme.Which reaction gives the greater reaction rate, and why?

A) Solution 1, because the enzyme has much more available substrate than in solution 2.
B) Solution 1, because the enzyme has much less available substrate than in solution 2.
C) Solution 2, because the enzyme is saturated in this solution but not in solution 1.
D) Solution 2, because the enzyme is not saturated in this solution but is saturated in solution 1.
E) Both have the same reaction rate, because they contain the same quantity of enzyme.
