Why does the velocity reach a plateau (asymptote) at high substrate concentrations? a. At high substrate concentrations, the product becomes an inhibitor of the reaction that created it. b. At high substrate concentrations, all enzymes are saturated with substrates. c. At high substrate concentrations, all substrates have been converted to products. d. At high substrate concentrations, the product concentration is high and the reaction starts running in reverse.

compare the state of an enzyme active site at a low substrate concentration and at a high substrate concentration. How does this affect the rate of the reaction?
Enzymes have similar responses to both changes in temperature and pH. The effect of both is on the a. rate of movement of the substrate molecules. b. strength of the chemical bonds within the substrate. c. three-dimensional shape of the enzyme. d. rate of movement of the enzyme.

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which the free energy obtained from the oxidation of metabolic fuels is used to generate ATP. (a).Which enzyme reaction controls oxidative phosphorylation? (b).Describe the way this enzyme controls oxidative phosphorylation
Assume you have a solution of reactions with an enzyme. You decided to apply heat to further “increase” the rate of reaction. However, after heating, you observed that the rate of reaction decreased, the enzymes’ activity decreased, which is the opposite of what you have expected. Explain what happened. Discuss what happens when the solution contains a high concentration of substrates.
In general, how would an increase in substrate alter enzyme activity? Draw a graph to illustrate this relationship.
Ben is studying an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. In the reaction, H+ ions are formed. He found that after a specific time, the reaction stopped, even though there was still a lot of substrate available in the mixture. a) Propose a hypothesis to explain why the reaction stopped.
Explain why the Km of an enzyme for its substrate tends to be close to the physiological (cellular) concentration of the substrate. In your answer, consider the possible effects if the substrate concentration were to be well below or above the enzyme's Km.
