Factors that affect enzyme action — practice question

The graph illustrates how raising substrate concentration affects the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction. What is limiting the rate of the enzyme-catalysed reaction at 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the graph?

  • A1 enzyme concentration; 2 substrate concentration; 3 competitive inhibitor; 4 non-competitive inhibitor
  • B1 enzyme concentration; 2 substrate concentration; 3 non-competitive inhibitor; 4 competitive inhibitor
  • C1 substrate concentration; 2 enzyme concentration; 3 competitive inhibitor; 4 non-competitive inhibitor
  • D1 substrate concentration; 2 enzyme concentration; 3 non-competitive inhibitor; 4 competitive inhibitor
