Detailed explanation-1: -(B) As the concentration of substrate increases, the enzyme becomes saturated with substrate. As soon as the catalytic site is empty, more substrate is available to bind and undergo reaction.
Detailed explanation-2: -At low substrate concentration the reaction rate increases sharply with increasing substrate concentration because there abundant free enzyme available (E) to bind added substrate.
Detailed explanation-3: -The competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate to bind to the enzyme. A competitive inhibitor mimics the substrate, competing for the active site. A competitive inhibitor can be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration.
Detailed explanation-4: -Substrate concentration For a given quantity of enzyme, the rate of reaction increases as the concentration of the substrate is increased.
