enzyme activity

if the enzyme concentration were ot remain constant, do you think the rate of reaction would change with a change in the substrate concentration? explain your reasoning.

thanks ^^

Yes, the rate of enzymatic reaction would change with a change in the substrate concentration. It is because  the more substrate molecules available for the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex, the faster the reaction will be.
However, if the substrate conc. continues to increase, the increase in reaction rate gradually decrease and remain constant because the rate is also affected by enzyme concentration.
