Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The effect of increase in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide on the rate of the given biochemical reaction has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: If the concentration of an enzyme is kept constant and the concentration of a substrate is increased, then enzyme activity will also increase. The increase in the enzyme activity is up to a certain substrate concentration and thereafter it remains constant.
(b)
Interpretation: The effect of decrease in the temperature from its optimum value on the rate of the given biochemical reaction has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The temperature at which an enzyme shows maximum activity is known as the optimum temperature.
(c)
Interpretation: The effect of decrease in the concentration of catalase on the rate of the given biochemical reaction has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: If the substrate concentration is kept constant, then the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction will increase with an increase in the concentration of enzyme.
(d)
Interpretation: The effect of increase in the
Concept introduction: Most of the enzymes exhibit a narrow maximum activity over a narrow
