An enzyme can overcome the presence of a competitive inhibitor by increasing the substrate concentration
The reaction rate falls direct propartional to the concentration fall (which is the result of that same reaction). This is called 'first order reaction rate'.

∙ 12y agoIf there are less enzymes, the substrate molecules have less active sites to bind to, therefore the amount of enzymes is the limiting factor of the overall enzyme activity. If this was represented in a graph, there would be a positive correlation until all of the enzymes have been used so it would level off.

∙ 13y agoIf enzyme concentration is low, in the case where the substrate concentration is normal, the amount of substrate will take longer to be broken down because of the lack of active sites available for the substrate to bond to.

How does initial concentration of substrate effect enzyme activity?
At low concentration of substrate , rate of enzyme action is directly proportional to conc. of substrate .
What happens when there is a low water concentration outside of a cell?
The water inside the cell goes with the low concentration to reach equilibrium.
Why can time make up for a low enzyme concentration?
The tongue is the only part of the body that can produce enzymes
What is the relationship between substrate concentration and enzyme activity?
At low substrate concentrations, the rate of enzyme activity is proportional to substrate concentration. The rate eventually reaches a maximum at high substrate concentrations as the active sites become saturated.
Is there any Procedure in enzyme and factors that affect enzyme activity?
pH, temperature, substrate concentration and enzyme concentration influences the rate of reaction
How does initial concentration of substrate effect enzyme activity?
At low concentration of substrate , rate of enzyme action is directly proportional to conc. of substrate .
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.
What happens to an allosteric enzyme when the concentration of substrate around the?
B. it increases its processin capacity
How does increasing enzyme concentration affect the rate of enzyme action when the enzyme concentration remains constant?
It doesn't

What are some factors that affect enzyme speed?
Substance concentration, enzyme concentration, temperature and PH level
