The Effect Of Substrate Concentration Flashcards
1
Q
When more substrate is added what increases?
A
The rate of reaction
2
Q
Why does the rate of reaction increase?
A
More enzyme substrate complexes are being formed
More product molecules are being formed
3
Q
In this situation what is the limiting factor?
A
The substrate concentration
4
Q
At the maximum rate of reaction why does it not increase further?
A
All enzymes active site are occupied with a substrate
If more are added then they cannot successfully collide with and fit into and enzymes active site
