1
Q

higher the enzyme concentration

A

the greater the number of active sites available and the greater the likelihood of enzyme-substrate complex formation

The greater the substrate concentration, the higher the rate of reaction

A

number of substrate molecules increases, the likelihood of enzyme-substrate complex formation increases

3
Q

same number of enzymes but more substrates added

A

all available active sites become saturated and any further increase in substrate concentration will not increase the reaction rate substrates
have nowhere to bind in order to form an enzyme-substrate complex
