Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate of enzymatic reactions is influenced by both temperature and concentration of reactants. Temperature affects the activity of the enzyme, as increased temperature increases enzyme activity until a certain point where the enzyme denatures. Concentration of reactants also affects the rate, as the higher the concentration of reactants, the faster the rate of reaction until all enzyme active sites are saturated.
