Enzyme Stations
Explain the following graph of an enzyme‐catalyzed reaction
Reaction rate
Temperature
Note: reaction rate is measure in Moles of product per second. Temperature is
measured in Celsius.
Draw a graph similar to the one above, but use substrate concentration for the X‐
axis. Explain your graph.
