Solution
The correct option is C 1 : 10,00,000
The enzyme attaches to the active site of the substrate. On attachment to the active site, the substrate is changed into the product. The active site has a residue that helps in the attachment of the substrate. The substrate molecules form a temporary bond with the enzyme at the active site. The ratio of enzyme to substrate molecules can be as high as 1 : 10,00,000. If the amount of substrate increases more than this, it will not get the vacant active site for attachment which terminates the reaction.So, the correct answer is option C.
