Sample item

What parameter rises when enzyme concentration is increased with abundant substrate?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

A. Vmax

The defining Enzymes relationship supports Vmax; it is the option that most directly explains the biochemical pathway or pathological process in the stem.

Option by option

  • A. Vmax (correct)

    Correct. Vmax is the appropriate conclusion from the key feature.

  • B. pH optimum only

    pH optimum only is relevant in a different context but is not supported here.

  • C. Km only

    Km only does not match the stated enzymes mechanism.

  • D. Activation energy of reaction

    Activation energy of reaction does not account for the central finding in this item.
