The curve given below shows enzymatic activity with relation to three conditions (pH, temperature and substrate concentration.) What do the two axes (x and y) represent? 

  • Option 1)

    Enzymatic activity

  • Option 2)

    Temperature enzyme activity

  • Option 3)

    Substrate concentration enzymatic activity

  • Option 4)

    Enzymatic activity temperature

Concentration of substrate on enzyme activity -

With the increase in substrate concentration, the velocity of the enzymatic reaction rises at first. The reaction ultimately reaches a maximum velocity \left (v_{max} \right ), and does not exceed any further.

Enzyme Inhibition -

The activity of an enzyme is sensitive to the presence of specific chemicals , when the binding of the chemical shuts off enzyme activity the process is called inhibition and the chemical is called an inhibitor.

-

 

 X -axis represents temperature and Y-axis represent enzyme activity. All enzyme act at an optimum temperature, above and below this temperature, the enzyme acitivity declines.
