How does the concentration effect the enzyme catalase activity?

In: Chemistry, Biochemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

As the substrate concentration increases, so will the enzyme activity and hence there will be a quick reaction. however, only up to a certain point ( where, if you drew a graph of the reaction, the line will level off ) as all the active sites in the enzyme are occupied and the reaction cannot go any faster. Here more enzymes will be needed to speed up the reaction.

As the enzyme concentration increases the rate of enzyme activity increases up to a level where it becomes constant. This is because the more the enzymes are available, the more substrates are broken...

Yes it can.Since enzymes are proteins, changes such as pH level, salinity, and even temperature can denature the proteins rendering them incapable of performing it's function because the shape has...

If the temperature is high, the enzyme will start to deteriorate obviously making the activity of the enzyme lower.
