Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

What happens to the reaction rate when the concentration of enzymes is increased beyond the maximum level?

The reaction rate remains constant (correct)

The reaction rate becomes zero

The reaction rate decreases

The reaction rate increases further

What is the effect of increasing temperature on the reaction rate of an amylase enzyme?

It has no effect on the reaction rate

It increases the reaction rate at all temperatures

It increases the reaction rate up to an optimum temperature and then decreases (correct)

It always decreases the reaction rate

What is the state of the active sites of enzymes at the maximum reaction rate?

Some active sites are saturated with substrate

Only one active site is saturated with substrate

No active sites are saturated with substrate

All active sites are saturated with substrate (correct)
