An experiment shows that increasing the substrate concentration no longer increases the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Based on the provided text, what is the most effective way to further increase the rate of product formation?

  • A: Increase the temperature of the reaction.
  • B: Add more enzyme molecules.
  • C: Decrease the pH of the reaction.
  • D: Remove products more frequently.

Explanation

The text states: "When an enzyme population is saturated, the only way to increase the rate of product formation is to add more enzyme."
