Biological Molecules- Enzyme-Controlled Reactions

Question 1

What are the two ways that you can measure the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction?

Answer 1

Measure how fast the product of the reaction is made or measure how fast the substrate is broken down

Question 2

How can you calculate the initial rate of reaction?

Answer 2

Using a tangent

Question 3

What variables must you keep constant when testing the effects of pH on the action of an enzyme?

Answer 3

Enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, temperature
