What kind of enzyme can increase the rate of a chemical reaction?

Any, that is their function.


What is the function of the enzyme catalyse?

is to catalyse or increase the rate of reaction without any change in itself .


What is the function of an enzyme?

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They are highly specific and can catalyze a wide range of reactions within cells.


The primary function of an enzyme or any biological catalyst is to?

The primary function of an enzyme or any biological catalyst is to increase the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy barrier, thereby facilitating the conversion of substrate molecules into products. This process allows cells to efficiently carry out metabolic reactions necessary for growth, maintenance, and energy production.


What has no effect on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?

Enzyme concentration has no effect on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction after reaching a saturation point where all enzyme active sites are occupied. At this point, adding more enzyme will not increase the reaction rate further.


What does the enzyme activity curve reveal about the relationship between enzyme concentration and reaction rate?

The enzyme activity curve shows that as enzyme concentration increases, the reaction rate also increases. However, there is a point where adding more enzyme does not further increase the reaction rate, indicating that there is a limit to the effect of enzyme concentration on reaction rate.


When the enzyme is at its most active state an increase in the concentration of substrate will?

An enzymatic reaction is an equilibrium reaction and the determiners of rate include enzyme and substrate concentration. An increase in either enzyme or substrate concentration will increase the rate of the reaction until one or the other component becomes saturated, beyond its ability to react or be reacted at a higher rate.


How does the non-competitive inhibitor decrease the rate of an enzyme reaction?

Noncompetitive inhibitors decrease the rate of an enzyme reaction by bonding to an enzyme somewhere other than the active site, deforming it and permanently disabling the enzyme, so that enzyme can never function again, so the rate of reaction decreases.


What increase the rate of a reaction?

What happens to the rate of enzyme concentration when you increase substrate concentration?

The rate of enzyme reaction is increased when the substrate concentration is also increased. However, when it reaches the maximum velocity of reaction, the reaction rate remains constant.


Describe the relationship between substrate concentration and the initial reaction rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction Is this a linear relationship What happens to the initial reaction rate as sub?

As the substrate concentration increases so does the reaction rate because there is more substrate for the enzyme react with.


Why would you expect the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction to increase proportionately to enzyme concentration given an unlimited supply of substrate?

No, since the reaction reaches a max rate depending on the speed of which the Enzyme bonds to the substrate and the speed at which the enzyme catalyzes the reaction to produce enzyme and product (shown below). E + S --> ES (E - enzyme, S - substrate, P - products) ES --> E + P Thus, if each reaction rate is not equal to each other, the rate of the overall reaction is not only proportional to both the concentration of enzyme and substrate.
