18. An enzyme shows sigmoidal kinetics, meaning that the plot of initial velocity (Vo) versus substrate concentration ([S])
displays an S-shaped curve. What does this suggest about the enzyme?
(A) It binds a single substrate molecule and follows first-order kinetics.
(B) It undergoes irreversible inactivation during catalysis.
(C) It exhibits cooperative binding, often due to allosteric interactions between subunits.
(D) It becomes saturated with substrate only at very high temperatures.

(E) It is competitively inhibited at high substrate concentrations.
