Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Enzymes are biomolecules that are regarded as similar to the catalyst in inorganic chemical reactions. Just like catalysts regulate the speed of inorganic reactions, in a similar way, enzymes regulate the speed of a biological reaction by lowering the barrier of activation energy. This is the reason due to which enzymes are called biocatalysts.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
All of the following increase enzymatic activity except a. an increase in temperature. b. an increase in pH. c. an increase in concentration of the substrate. d. an increase in concentration of the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction.
As you change the temperature from a low temperature to a high temperature what happens to the rate of an enzymatic reaction, in general terms?   A The reaction rate will steadily increase as the temperature increases.   B The reaction rate will steadily decrease as the temperature increases.   C The reaction rate will start low, then increase, and then decrease again as the temperature increases.   D The reaction rate will not change as the temperature increases.
When an enzymatic reaction is in progress, do you expect to see happen to the amount of substrate?   A It will increase as the reaction proceeds.   B It will decrease as the reaction proceeds.   C The amount will not change as reaction proceeds.   D It is not possible to predict what will happen to it as the reaction proceeds.
