In the presence of alcohol dehydrogenase, the rate of reduction of acetaldehyde to ethanol increases as you increase the concentration of acetaldehyde. Eventually, the rate of reaction reaches a maximum, where further increases in the concentration of acetaldehyde have no effect. Which of the following BEST explains this result?

W) All of the alcohol dehydrogenase molecules are bound to acetaldehyde molecules

X) At high concentrations of acetaldehyde, the activation energy of the reaction decreases

Y) The enzyme is no longer specific for acetaldehyde

Z) At high concentrations of acetaldehyde, the change in free energy of the reaction decreases
W) ALL OF THE ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE MOLECULES ARE BOUND TO ACETALDEHYDE MOLECULES
