Question

All BUT one of the conditions will increase the reaction rate of an enzyme. The Condition that will NOT increase the reaction rate is A)reaching optimal pH B) reaching optimal temperature C) decreasing the concentration of an enzyme D) increasing the concentration of the substrate

Answer 1

I believe it would be C.

Answer 2

Answer;

C) decreasing the concentration of an enzyme

Explanation;

-Environment factors such as temperature and pH affects the activity of an enzyme. Changing these conditions alters the rate of the reaction caused by the enzyme.

-Each enzyme works at certain optimal conditions such as optimal temperature and optimal pH, thus increasing temperature and pH to optimal levels will increase the rate of enzyme reaction.

-Changing the concentration of enzyme and substrate will also affect the rate of reaction of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Increasing enzyme concentration increases the rate of enzyme activity.
