It takes time (although usually a very small amount) for an enzyme molecule to catalyze a reaction. An enzyme solution is said to be saturated if all the molecules of enzyme in the solution are operating at full capacity (all active sites binding substrate molecules). Some enzymes are easily saturated (RuBisCo - 3 reactions/second) due to the highly energetically-demanding reactions that they catalyze while other enzymes that catalyze relatively simple reactions (amylase - many many reactions/second) are harder to saturate.

What is soak verb?
The verb is soak, soaks, soaking, soaked; to become saturated or cause to become saturated with liquid; to wet thoroughly; to drench.
How can you tell when a liquid has become saturated?
A solution is saturated when it is no longer possible to dissolve an additional quantity of solute, at constant temperature.
When is a liquid solution saturated?
When a compound become insoluble in a liquid at a given temperature and pressure a saturated solution is obtained; the limit of solubility is reached.
Using particle theory to explain how a solution becomes saturated?
how will you use the particle theory to explain why a saturated solution at 30 degreecelsius can become dilute at 70degree Celsius
What ensures that the network does not become saturated at any one point?
Flow control ensures that the network does not become saturated at any one point. By directing traffic in the best direction, network hardware is capable of balancing the load efficiently and accurately.
How can a saturated solution become supersaturated?
How a saturated solution can become supersaturated?
What is soak verb?
The verb is soak, soaks, soaking, soaked; to become saturated or cause to become saturated with liquid; to wet thoroughly; to drench.
If enzymes do not function they are called?
Enzymes that become no longer functional are referred to as being "denatured".
Do saturated fats become clear?
If you heat them up.
How can you tell when a liquid has become saturated?
A solution is saturated when it is no longer possible to dissolve an additional quantity of solute, at constant temperature.
What do we call the temperature at which air become saturated?
the dew point!
What can cause the cell cycle to become uncontrolled?
lack of the enzymes needed to control the cell cycle overproduction of those enzymes or production of other enzymes at the wrong time all can cause the cell cycle to become uncontrolled
Does congestion control ensures that the network does not become saturated at any one point?
Congestion control does ensure that the network does not become saturated at any one point. This ensures that there is no compromise in the quality of service.
How can you help a saturated solution become a supersaturated solution?
Adding more solute the solution become supersaturated.
What happens when the temperature of a saturated copper sulphate solution is increased?
The solution will become unsaturated as the saturated concentration will increase. Solubility increases with temperature.
When is a liquid solution saturated?
When a compound become insoluble in a liquid at a given temperature and pressure a saturated solution is obtained; the limit of solubility is reached.
What are two ways for air to become saturated?
From increased evaporation or from a drop in the temperature.
