600,000 molecules per second with enzyme and 200 molecules per hour without enzyme

B

200 molecules per second with enzyme and 200 molecules per hour without enzyme

C

600,000 molecules per second with enzyme and 600 molecules per hour without enzyme

D

200 molecules per second with enzyme and 600,000 molecules per hour without enzyme
