Question

what is the effect of substrate concentration on enzyme Activity?​

Answer 1

❤By increasing the enzyme concentration, the maximum reaction rate greatly increases.

❤ Conclusions: The rate of a chemical reaction increases as the substrate concentration increases. Enzymes can greatly speed up the rate of a reaction.

✔However, enzymes become saturated when the substrate concentration is high.

Answer 2

Answer:

For a enzyme catalysed reaction there is always a hyperbolic relationship between rate of reaction and the concentration of substrate.

Explanation:

• When the substrate concentration is low, the rate of reaction rises sharply as the substrate concentration rises. Most of the time, the enzyme's catalytic site is vacant and waiting for a substrate to bind; as a result, the rate at which product can be generated is governed by the concentration of substrate that is available.

• The enzyme becomes saturated with substrate as the concentration of the substrate rises. More substrate is accessible to bind and conduct reaction as soon as the catalytic site is empty. More substrate won't significantly slow down the reaction; instead, the pace at which the product is formed now depends on the enzyme's own activity. #SP J3
