Question

Michaelis-Menten reaction is:

• A. First order reaction
• B. Zero order reaction
• C. Changing order reaction
• D. Fractional order reaction

Hint:

In Michaelis-Menten kinetics, the reaction order varies with the concentration of the substrate.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding Michaelis-Menten Kinetics 
The Michaelis-Menten reaction describes enzyme kinetics where the reaction order changes with substrate concentration. Initially, it follows first-order kinetics at low substrate concentrations and zero-order kinetics at high substrate concentrations. 
Step 2: Conclusion 
As the order of the reaction varies with the concentration of the substrate, it is classified as a "changing order" reaction.
