What is the general effect of increasing the substrate concentration in a reaction?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the substrate concentration in a reaction typically leads to an increase in the rate of the reaction, but only up to a point. Eventually, the rate levels off because all the active sites of the enzyme (if it's an enzyme-catalyzed reaction) become occupied, and adding more substrate does not increase the reaction rate further. This is described by the Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
