BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Independent variables: The concentration of enzyme, substrate concentration, temperature, and the presence of an inhibitor are all independent variables. The rate of the reaction will increase as the concentration of the enzyme or substrate is raised.

Detailed explanation-3: -These reactions are said to be “zero order” because the rates are independent of substrate concentration, and are equal to some constant k.

Detailed explanation-4: -The independent variable is the concentration of enzyme, the concentration of the substrate, the temperature, and the addition of an inhibitor. Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that carry out chemical reactions.
