C)Adding more substrate to an excess of enzyme.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding more product to an excess of substrate would not help to increase the rate of the reaction because adding more of the product would not affect the availability of the substrate or the activity of the enzyme. The rate of the reaction is dependent on the concentration of the substrate, the activity of the enzyme, and the conditions under which the reaction is taking place. Adding more product would not affect any of these factors.
