10. Two students conduct an experiment in which they measure the concentration of an enzyme in a test tube at 1 minute intervals over the course of an enzymatic reaction. Each student's prediction for the reaction is below:
Student 1 predicts that the concentration of the enzyme in the test tube will decrease as the reaction
progresses.
Student 2 predicts that the concentration of the enzyme in the test tube will stay the same as the reaction
progresses.
Which student's prediction is correct, and why?
a. Student 1; enzymes are depleted as a reaction progresses
b. Student 1; enzymes are not depleted as a reaction progresses
c. Student 2; enzymes are depleted as a reaction progresses
d. Student 2; enzymes are not depleted as a reaction progresses
