Factors Effecting Enzyme Action

Name 4 factors that effect enzyme action:

How does temperature increase the rate of reaction?

What happens past an enzymes optimum temperature and why?

Draw the graph to show how temperature effects the rate of a reaction

The pH of a solution is also a measure of what?

What can happen above and below an enzymes optimum pH? Why is this?

Draw a graph to show how pH effects enzyme action

The higher the substrate concentration, the ______ the reaction.
Explain your answer.

What is the saturation point?

Over time, what happens to substrate concentration

Draw a graph to show how substrate concentration effects enzyme activity

What happens if enzyme concentration is increased in a reaction mixture?

Increasing enzyme concentration does increase the rate of reaction, but what happens if the amount of substrate is limited?

Draw a graph to show the effect enzyme concentration has on the rate of a reaction
