Concept explainers
To explain: The relationship between the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction and the rate of uncatalyzed reaction.
Concept introduction: Enzymes are the biocatalyst that accelerate the
To explain: The reason that enzymes enhance the rate of slow uncatalyzed reactions as much as they enhance the rate of fast uncatalyzed reactions.
Concept introduction: Enzymes are the biocatalyst that accelerate the chemical reactions. These are protein molecules that speed up the reaction. Enzymes act on the substrate molecule and convert into product. These are specific in nature in which they act on its substrates.
