Enzyme Substrate Concentration Flashcards
1
Q
What happens to a reaction when enzymes are added and is the limiting factor?
A
Rate of reaction increases because: more successful collisions More active sites available for substrates more enzyme substrate complexes More product formed

Q
What happens to a reaction when substrates are added and is the limiting factor?
A
Rate of reaction increases because: more successful collisions More active sites can be filled up more enzyme substrate complexes More product formed
3
Q
What happens to a reaction when substrates are added and is not the limiting factor?
A
There is no change to the reaction rate:
There are no more free enzymes to bind to
There will be no extra enzyme substrate complexes
So no more product is made

Q
What happens to a reaction when enzymes are added and is not the limiting factor?
A
There is no change to the reaction rate:
They are all used up in the reaction
There will be no extra enzyme substrate complexes
So no more product is made
