When the amount of enzyme present is held constant,the rate of a reaction will continue to increase as long as the substrate concentration increases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate of a reaction will increase with substrate concentration only up to a point. Beyond this, when all enzyme molecules are saturated with substrate, the reaction rate levels off and becomes constant, showing no further increase with added substrate. This is because the enzyme is working at its maximum capacity, known as Vmax.

When the Amount of Enzyme Present Is Held Constant,the Rate
