An enzyme is added to a substrate solution. If the concentration of the substrate is increased significantly while the enzyme concentration is kept constant, what happens to the reaction rate?
It increases linearly forever.
It increases and then plateaus (levels off).
It decreases due to inhibition.
It stops immediately.

The rate levels off because all enzyme active sites become saturated with substrate molecules (Vmax).
