The statement that BEST describes the relationship between concentration and enzyme activity is when substrate concentration decreases, enzyme activity decreases (Option B).

  • Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of that reaction.

  • Some factors that alter enzymatic activity include temperature, pH, and substrate concentration.

  • An enzyme works in optimum condition as long as there is more substrate available which can be broken down by the specific enzyme.

  • However, the enzymatic activity increases as the substrate concentration until a limiting value is reached.

In conclusion, the statement that BEST describes the relationship between concentration and enzyme activity is when substrate concentration decreases, enzyme activity decreases (Option B is correct).
