Enzymes are catalysts for chemical reactions. All chemical reactions are affected by temperature. Higher temperatures make the reactions happen faster, and colder temperatures make them happen slower. At 37 degrees, just a little above freezing, many biological enzymes practically stop working.
If an enzyme is present in lower concentration than the substrates, it may limit the rate of the reaction because there are not enough enzyme molecules available to bind to substrates and catalyze the reaction effectively. This can result in slower reaction kinetics and a decrease in the overall rate of the reaction.
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.
The rate-limiting step of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is the slowest step in the reaction that determines the overall rate at which the reaction proceeds.
The enzyme graph shows that the reaction rate of the catalyzed reaction is faster compared to the uncatalyzed reaction. This indicates that the enzyme is effectively speeding up the reaction process.
Uncompetitive inhibition affects both the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) and the maximum reaction rate (Vmax) in enzyme kinetics by decreasing both values. Uncompetitive inhibitors bind to the enzyme-substrate complex, preventing the enzyme from completing the reaction. This results in an increase in Km and a decrease in Vmax, ultimately slowing down the rate of the enzymatic 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.
Competitive inhibitors decrease the maximum reaction rate (Vmax) of an enzyme by competing with the substrate for the enzyme's active site, which reduces the efficiency of the enzyme-substrate complex formation and slows down the rate of the reaction.
The rate of reaction of a human enzyme typically increases as the temperature rises from 10 to 30 degrees Celsius due to increased kinetic energy, leading to more collisions between enzyme and substrate molecules. However, beyond the optimum temperature range, denaturation may occur, causing a decrease in enzyme activity.

In most Chemical reactions, the reaction rate increases, though when side reactions are possible these can get more favoured. When no side reactions can happen, the the reaction rate will just increase. In biology, it is possible the reaction rate increases for only a small amount of time. If you use an enzyme developed to work at 10 degrees celsius, it can denaturate at 30 degrees celsius, causing the reaction to stop or slow down due to an decrease of active enzyme

Rate increase with temperature up to 40 celcius.But it decrease to 60 celcius and stops after.
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.

Increasing the amount of enzyme used can increase the rate of the reaction, leading to a higher production of the product, up to a certain point. However, at a certain enzyme concentration, the reaction may reach saturation, and increasing the enzyme further may not significantly change the product yield.
