Question
enzymes and substrate concentration
make a hypothesis about the effect of substrate concentration on enzyme
activity! type your hypothesis below:
lower substrate
substrate
enzyme
higher substrate
concentration
substrate
A hypothesis is an educated guess. In enzyme - substrate interactions, when substrate concentration is low, there are fewer substrate molecules to bind to the enzyme's active sites. As substrate concentration increases, more enzyme - substrate complexes can form initially. But there's a limit (saturation point) where all active sites are occupied.

As substrate concentration increases, enzyme activity will increase until a saturation point is reached, after which further increases in substrate concentration will not lead to an increase in enzyme activity.
