1. A biologist isolated a sample of an enzyme called lactase from the intestinal lining of of a calf. The substrate of lactase is lactose which is broken into galactose and glucose. She prepared 2% enzyme solution with different concentrations of lactose and measured the rate of galactose production. She recorded the results as shown below.
Lactose concentration
0
5%
10%
20%
30%
Enzyme concentration
2%
2%
2%
2%
2%
Reaction rate
0
25

(i)Sketch a graph of rate versus lactose concentration
(ii)Explain the relationship between the rate of reaction and the substrate
concentration.
