The reaction. pyruvate + NADH+H. lactate + NAD* is catalyzed by the enzyme lacate dehydrogenase. Suppose this reaction in the presence of some lactate dehydrogenase results in the production of 30 µmol per minute of lactate when the concentration of puyruvate is 2 mmol per liter. If the concentration of pyruvate is doubled to 4 mmol per liter, how will the rate of production of lactate change? O it will double to 60 µmol per minute O it will remain the same at 30 umol per minute O it will halve to 15 umol per minute O can't tell
