BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Initially, an increase in substrate concentration leads to an increase in the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. As the enzyme molecules become saturated with substrate, this increase in reaction rate levels off. The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases with an increase in the concentration of an enzyme.

Detailed explanation-2: -Substrate concentration: Increasing substrate concentration also increases the rate of reaction to a certain point. Once all of the enzymes have bound, any substrate increase will have no effect on the rate of reaction, as the available enzymes will be saturated and working at their maximum rate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Also, increasing the enzyme concentration will cause an increase in the collision of substrate molecules against the molecules of the enzymes, therefore, increasing the reaction rate, which will result in more product formation.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -As the substrate concentration increases so does the rate of enzyme activity.
