The reason an increase in substrate concentration does not increase the reaction rate indefinitely is because Multiple Choice another enzyme will take advantage of the excess substrate and use it for a different reaction. enzymes cannot be used more than once in a reaction. eventually the enzyme will no longer recognize the substrate. the enzyme will become denatured. the active site will become saturated with substrate and the enzyme will not be able to go any faster.
the active site will become saturated with substrate and the enzyme will not be able to go any faster.

Why are two ATP needed to begin glycolysis? Multiple Choice to compensate for the lack of oxygen to move the reaction into the mitochondria to donate electrons to NAD+ to activate the glucose to accept electrons from glucose
to activate the glucose
Which of the classes of RNA molecules has an anticodon? Multiple Choice transfer RNA primary mRNA transcript ribozyme messenger RNA
transfer RNA
A major difference in the production of transgenic bacteria, plants, and animals is that Multiple Choice a. transgenic bacteria do not pass on their genetic modification to offspring, while plants and animals do. b. transgenic animals require the use of a host to carry the genetically modified embryo, while bacteria and plants do not. c. transgenic bacteria and plants receive genes from other species of organisms, while animals are only able to incorporate genes from their own species. d. transgenic bacteria, animals, and plants can only incorporate genes from their own species, so the process is unique for each species. e. so far, only transgenic plants and animals have been successful. Scientists are still trying to create transgenic bacteria.
