    Ans is B. When you change enzyme concentration how does that affect Vmax, KM, and kcat? ... Vmax depends on the enzyme concentration, so if you double the amount of enzyme you double Vmax. Km and kcat are constants so changing the enzyme concentration will not change their value.

    Answer is (B). On doubling the concentration of enzyme the Vmax will increase because enzyme concentration is now doubled. Whereas Km depends on conc of S so it will remain the same.
