A substrate is a substance or surface on which an organism grows, or a reactant in a biochemical reaction, such as enzymes acting on a substrate to facilitate a reaction. When a substrate is used up, the reaction can no longer proceed at the same rate, leading to a decrease in the production of products. In biological systems, this can result in a slowdown of metabolic processes, affecting the overall functioning of the organism. Additionally, the depletion of substrates can trigger regulatory mechanisms to restore balance or seek alternative sources.

Can anyone help with this question Describe the relationship between substrate concentration and the initial reaction rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction Is this a linear relationship What happens t?

The more substrate the faster the rate of reaction up to a point where it levels out. Basically the enzymes and substrates bounce around until they meet the substrate that the enzyme can catalyse so obviously with more substrate there's more chance of he enzyme bumping into the right substrate


In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?

No, pepsin is not the substrate in the experiment with BAPNA. BAPNA is the synthetic substrate used in this experiment to test the activity of the enzyme pepsin by measuring the rate of substrate cleavage. Pepsin acts on BAPNA as the enzyme, not the substrate.


What happens to the enzymes after the substrate reacts?

It is either used again (many enzymes are used multiple times before broken down) or is broken down.


What substrate our enzyme used in lab acted upon was?

In the lab, the enzyme acted upon a specific substrate, which varies depending on the experiment conducted. For instance, if we used amylase, the substrate would be starch, which the enzyme breaks down into simpler sugars. In contrast, if we used protease, the substrate could be proteins, which the enzyme would hydrolyze into amino acids. The choice of substrate is crucial as it determines the enzyme's activity and the resulting products of the reaction.


What is the advantage of enzymes not being used up in reactions?

Let say enzyme 1 has a shape of A. When it encounters a solute particle of shape A', enzyme jumps on the particle so to speak changing its shape to A'' and back to A' in less than nano second and when that shape change happens the solute particle becomes highly unstable and now can react with other solute particles and hence carry out the reaction. Enzyme jumps on substrate --> substrate unstable --> enzyme jumps back out of substrate --> unstable substrate reacts with another substrate.

What happens When an enzyme's substrate fits into enzymes?

nothing.


The are used to conect with the substrate?

"The are used to conect with a substrate" is not a question, and connect is spelled incorrectly.


Why enzymes can be reused?

Because once the product leaves the active site, more substrate can enter. So the enzyme will keep on working until all the substrate is used up.


What happens when an enzyme and a substrate interact at an active site?

Activation energy is reduced! :)
