Describe the change in the rate of reaction when the enzyme concentration is increased?

Answer 1

The increase of enzyme concentration increase the rate of reaction. Given a fixed amount of substrates, it means that the substrates will be digested faster as there are more enzymes to do the work. Substrate concentration, temperature, and pH value of the surrounding where the enzymes work on also affects the rate.

Answer 2

The rate(speed) of a reaction is directly related to the concentration of the enzyme. As the concentration of the enzyme increases, the speed of a reaction will increase. This is because the more concentrated the enzyme concentration, the more particles there are to collide and react. There will be a stronger concentration of enzyme to react with the substrate.

Answer 3

When the concentration of enzyme is increased, there are more enzymes available for the substrate to bond to. Because enzymes increase the rate of reaction, having more enzymes increases the rate of reaction into a certain point. At this point, there are more than enough enzyme molecules to accommodate all of the substrate molecules.

Answer 4

If there is more enzyme, then there is more enzyme to bind at the active site, so it will be faster. If the concentration was weaker there would be less enzyme and a less faster reaction.

If the solution is diluted with an inhibitor, this will also decrease the rate of reaction.

Answer 5

The substrate concentration will have a positive correlation with the speed of enzymatic reaction, but only until a certain point/concentration, at which the speed of enzymatic reaction stays constant.

The reason for this is enzymes are very productive and optimized for their job, and are able to work on several molecules (one after another) and change their shape, or in other words, turn them into a different molecule. When you begin with a small amount of enzymes, it will take relatively longer for the enzymes to react with all of the substrate, as opposed to when there are more enzymes present to work on the substrates. The point at which the speed stays constant is when there are equal number of enzymes to substrate, at which the extra enzymes do nothing and are not needed for the operation.

Answer 6

Increasing enzyme concentration typically leads to an increase in the rate of reaction. This is because more enzyme molecules are available to catalyze the reaction, leading to more substrate molecules being converted into products per unit time. However, once the substrate concentration becomes a limiting factor, further increases in enzyme concentration may not significantly impact the reaction rate.

Answer 7

Enzymes have a catalytic effect; the rate of the reaction and the yield are increased.
