High substrate concentration follows which order?(a) Zero order(b) First order(c) Zero- Second order(d) Second orderThis question was addressed to me in quiz.My doubt is from General Reaction Kinetics for Biological Systems in portion Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (a) ZERO order

Explanation: V ≈ vmax

Therefore, at high substrate concentrations, the reaction rate approaches a constant VALUE independent of substrate concentration; in this concentration range, the reaction is essentially zero order with RESPECT to the substrate.
