Why Chemistry...why?Can u please help me out?

If the rate of reaction, A+B+C => D+E doesnt depend on the concentration of C what does this tell about the reaction mechanism?

That C is regenerated. Maybe it is H+. Also, maybe it is present in such great amount that it does not enter into the rate constant. By which I mean: Maybe it is water in a water solutuion.

In a similar vein as the other 2 responders, C might also be a catalyst. Or may not even participate in the reaction (as in a spectator ion). This is a general scheme, so any of these might plug in satisfactorily.
