As you increase the substrate, rate of reaction increases, till more enzyme is available. This is called as First order kine-sis. When all the molecules of enzymes are engaged in activity, rate cannot increase further. This is called Zero order kine-sis. Alcohol is the best example for both of this.If less quantity is consumed, it is metabolized by First order kine-sis and more is consumed it is metabolized by Zero order kine-sis.

If an enzyme in solution is saturated with substate What is the most effective way to obtain yield of produtct?
If an enzyme solution is saturated with substrate the most effective way to obtain a faster yield of products is to increase the enzyme concentration. An alternative is to increase the temperature.
What has no effect on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
When an enzyme is saturated the amount of substrate added no longer as an effect on the rate of the reaction.
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.
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.
What is the name given to the substance that an enzyme works on?
An enzyme will alter its substrate although the specific substrate depends on the enzyme.
What affect does too much substrate have on the rate of an enzyme reaction?
The enzyme becomes saturated by the substrate and enzyme activity plateaus.

What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
Is a substrate an enzyme?
NO. The enzyme acts on the substrate. The substrate is the chemical/compound being altered by the action of the enzyme. They are NOT the same.
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
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.
When properly aligned the enzyme and substrate form an enzyme substrate?
complex
What is the name given to the substance that an enzyme works on?
An enzyme will alter its substrate although the specific substrate depends on the enzyme.
