Question

Suppose an enzyme carries out the following reaction: A+B is converted by an enzyme to an intermediate called C C is then converted to two products D and E by the same enzyme. If you add a surplus of C to a mixture containing substrates A, B and the enzyme, what do you expect will happen? Select one: O a. Not much,the enzyme binds A and B as substrates and it still would O b. Not much, the enzyme acts as a catalyst so adding C has little effect. O c. Conversion of A and B to C would be affected while C would be converted to D and E. cross out O d. The conversion of A and B to D and E would speed up. O e. It would depend on the temperature so it's hard to say cross out cross out cross out cross out

Explanation / Answer

Since the process is not reversible, The correct options should be B) Not much, the enzyme acts as a catalyst so adding C has a little effect.

because it is also not stated that if enzyme has a preference over product or intermediate for binding,
