Questions and Answers

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)
