Question
With enzymes, as the relative concentration of substrate increases, the ____ has been achieved.
Answer
With enzymes, as the relative concentration of substrate increases, the rate of the reaction also increases, but to a lesser and lesser degree until a maximum rate, the Vmax, has been achieved.
Note: This occurs because as more substrate is added, individual substrates must begin to wait in line for an unoccupied enzyme. Thus, Vmax is proportional to enzyme concentration.
