Question

Pick an environmental factors that impacts enzyme activity (Temperature , pH, or substrate concentration ) and explain how it affects the rate of the enzyme. *

Answer 1

I use substrate concentration as an example

As larger amounts of substrate are added to a reaction, the available enzyme binding sites become filled to the limit of the max reaction velocity. Beyond this limit the enzyme is saturated with substrate and the reaction rate ceases to increase. This can easily be verified by observing the Michaelis-Menten law
