How does changing the substrate concentration exhibit the same effect as changing the enzyme concentration?

For the enzyme to work, its particles must collide with the particles of the substrate. The more particles there are per unit volume, the more frequent the collisions will be. Thus changing the concentration of either chemical will have the same effect.

The changing pitch of a police cars siren as it moves by you is an example of what?
The Doppler effect
What conditions would have to be met in order for an ambulance with its siren on not to exhibit the Doppler effect when it passes you?
As far as I know, there will always be a Doppler effect when there is relative movement between the object that emits sound, and the observer (i.e. you, who are listening to the sound).
Of what significance was the Hawthorne effect on employees who participate in scientific studies?
it has been interpreted to mean that when employees feel important and recognized, they exhibit greater motivation to excel in their work activities
What process causes smelly gases to spread around a room on their own?
The process you're thinking of is called "diffusion". It is the property of a substance to travel from a place of greater concentration to a place of lessen concentration. Put simply, a substance will spread itself out in whatever area it's contained in. The effect this has on the smelly gas in the room is that the gas will go from the area of greater concentration (Where the gas was released) to lesser concentration (The rest of the room). Thus, the gas will spread out evenly amongst the air in the room.
What effect do alkalis hava on litmus solution?
If the solution contains acid, then the alkali turns the litmus to its original colour(blue).The color is effected by the concentration of the acid and the alkali.
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 effect enzymes activity?
Temperature, pH, substrate concentration
Why will increasing the substrate concentration not decrease the effect of a non competitive inhibitor?
Because you will still have the same number of enzymes inhibited. For example, you have 20 enzymes and 10 non-competitive inhibitors. Regardless of substrate concentration, at any one time, there will only be 10 enzymes available to accept a substrate. Increasing the substrate concentration does not affect this.
Is Vmax a threshold of substrate concentration for initiation of an enzymatic reaction?
Oddly phased question in my opinion. Vmax is only effected by the amount of enzyme present in the reaction. Substrate concentration has zero effect on Vmax. There for I believe the answer in no. {Enzyme concentration is responsible for this}
What cause competition?
It slows down or even stop the enzymatic activity because it compete the actove site of the enzymes with substrate and its effect can be reduced by concentrating the concentration of substrate or add more subatrate therefore more substrate are compete with the inibitors
What effect does changing the concentration of calcium ions have on the coagulation of milk?
the rate of coagulation increases as the concentration of calcium ions increase.
What are the four factors that effect enzyme activity?
temperature, pH, concentration of enzymes, and concentration of substrates.
How is the effect of concentration changes on the reaction rate seen in the rate?
That depends on the order of the reaction. If the reaction is zero order with respect to a reactant, then changing the concentration will have no effect on rate. If it is first order, then doubling the concentration will double the rate. If it is second order, then doubling the concentration will quadruple the rate.
What must be held constant when testing the effect enzyme concentration on enzyme activity?
temperature,pH and substrate concentration
How do you change the concentration of the substrate where the substrate is milk and the enzyme is renin?
i just did this experiment in class today. what you need to do is add water to the milk. but you have to keep the same amount of milk in all of them. this is if you are testing the effect of substrate concentration on renin. so you have one experiment with 8ml of milk and then one with 6 ml of milk and 2 ml of water and 4 ml of mik and 4ml of water and so on ... be carefful to stir the solution a bit i hope this helps
What effect does changing the concentration on acid have in a chemical reaction invlving a metal such as magnesium?
Increasing the concentration of an acid would increase the rate and vigor of the reaction involving a metal such as magnesium.
What is the use of substrate in Field Effect Transistor?
The use of substrate in Field Effect Transistors is for it to serve as insulating material between the gate and the source.
