Question

When an enzymatic reaction is in progress, do you expect to see an increase, decrease or no change in each of following: (i) substrate (ii) product (iii) enzyme

Answer 1

Answer:

During Enzymatic reaction, enzymes binds to a substrate to form a which then forms the product.

• Substrate: A reactant in an enzymatic or chemical reaction is called substrate.

• Product: The final outcome or substance after completion of reaction is called product.
• Enzyme: Enzyme helps to increase the rate of reaction and act as a catalyst.

Change in shape of substrate, product and enzymes depends on the temperature outside the optimal range which affect bonding between enzyme and substrate. Enzymes definitely changes their size when bind to substrat and the process is called induced fit which increases the rate of reaction.
