Depends on how much substrate the enzyme can process. Most enzymes can process more than one molecule of substrate without denaturing or becoming unusable. However, in the terms of your question. More substrate is better. Too many enzymes would mean the reaction would be cut short, because they would all react the substrate at once. So for a prolonged, efficient reaction more substrate would be proper.
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
These molecules are called substrates.
Yes, most enzymes are smaller in size compared to their substrates. Enzymes typically have specific active sites where they bind with their substrates to catalyze chemical reactions. This specific interaction allows enzymes to facilitate reactions despite being smaller in size.
enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts
Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Substrates are the specific molecules upon which enzymes act; they bind to the enzyme's active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. This interaction facilitates the conversion of substrates into products, thus enabling various biochemical processes in living organisms. The specificity of enzymes for their substrates is crucial for regulating metabolic pathways.
Substrates
Enzymes interact with substrates by binding only with specific substrates. Enzymes will then alter the shape of the substrate in order to induce reaction.
Enzymes attach to things called substrates to help speed up the reaction. Only certain enzymes match the shape of certain substrates.
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.

Yes, most enzymes are smaller in size compared to their substrates. Enzymes typically have specific active sites where they bind with their substrates to catalyze chemical reactions. This specific interaction allows enzymes to facilitate reactions despite being smaller in size.
True. Enzymes are highly specific in their interactions with substrates. Each enzyme is designed to interact with a particular substrate based on the shape and chemical properties of both the enzyme and the substrate. This specificity allows enzymes to catalyze specific reactions efficiently.
Enzymes and substrates are molecules and look like any other molecules. In case of enzymes specifically, they are proteins and so have long chains of amino acids folded into different structures and shapes.
