If the concentration of an enzyme in onereaction is doubled, the amount ofsubstrate converted to products perunit of time is also doubled with thecondition that there is an ____ of substrate.
A
excess supply
B
inadequate supply
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The rate is proportional to the concentration of a reactant. When you double the concentration the rate doubles. The rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of a reactant.

Detailed explanation-2: -So final rate will be maximum 8 times.

Detailed explanation-3: -<br> In the question, since rate is directly proportional to the conc. Of reactant, hence the reaction is of first order.
