Question
![Which of these statements about enzyme-catalyzed reactions is false?
The activation energy for the catalyzed reaction is the same as for the uncatalyzed reaction, but the
equilibrium constant is more favorable in the enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
The Michaelis-Menten constant Km equals the [S] at which V = 1/2 V,
max:
At saturating levels of substrate, the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is proportional to the enzyme
concentration.
The rate of a reaction decreases steadily with time as substrate is depleted.
If enough substrate is added, the normal V,
of
max
a reaction can be attained even in the presence of a
competitive inhibitor.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/fbfd0029-e037-4bef-a6dc-2fab8c35ba69/ae3fb3e7-eb87-4d7f-83c0-ec6470d1e473/dfoy1ho_thumbnail.png)
