What does this graph indicate? In the
first 10 seconds, there was a lot of substrate and a lot of
enzymes. Much of the substrate was decomposed. Then
briefly, all the enzymes were busy and nothing much
happened. During the next 60 seconds, there were plenty of
enzymes free, but there was little substrate left to decompose;
consequently the rate increased over the 60 second time
interval, but then the rate flattened out. There were
enzymes to work, but no substrate on which to work. |
