What is the major difference between enzyme-catalysed and uncatalyzed reactions?
1. Enzymes increase the activation energy required for the reaction.
2. Enzymes increase the rate of reaction without being consumed.
3. Enzymes work only in the presence of inorganic catalysts.
4. Enzymes make a reaction endothermic instead of exothermic.

The substrate concentration in a reaction which is governed by an enzyme is slowly increased to high levels. As the substrate concentration increases the reaction rate:
1. continues to increase indefinitely.
2. continues to decrease indefinitely.
3. increases at first, then levels off.
4. does not change.
