Question

Briefly explain the observed effect of the acetylcholine concentration on the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction

Answer 1

Increase of reaction rate

Explanation:

• It is observed that when the concentration of acetylcholine remains constant in the reaction of an aqueous solution, the speed of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction or the formation of the product increases with increasing concentrations of substrate.

• The reaction rate is directly proportional to the concentration of acetylcholine.  

• At very low concentrations of acetylcholine, there is a small increase in the concentration of the substrate which results in a large increase of the rate in reaction.
