... able to obtain a fairly strong conclusion. Finally, I will evaluate my experiment and results commenting on any errors observed, and what improvements can be made to make the experiment more accurate. Prediction I predict that as the concentration decreases then the rate of reaction will decrease and as the concentration increases the rate of reaction will increase also. This is because at a low enzyme concentration, there a few active sites for the substrate to bind with. This means that collisions between the enzyme and the substrate molecules are infrequent and the reaction is slow. However, as the enzyme concentration gradually increases the rate of reaction initially increases proportionally, due to the fact that there are more active sites for the substrate and therefore bindings become more frequent. If the enzyme concentration continues to increase, then it becomes saturated and the reaction remains at the saturation level. This occurs, ...
