2. The graph below shows data gathered from a series of experiments designed to study a particular enzyme, its substrate, and two potential inhibitors. Line A represents a series of uninhibited reactions. The other two lines represent two series of inhibited reactions. Label which line represents the experiments that utilized a competitive inhibitor, and label which line represents the experiments that utilized a non-competitive inhibitor.

Question
The graph below shows data gathered from a series of experiments designed to study a particular enzyme, its substrate, and two potential inhibitors. Line A represents a series of **uninhibited reactions**. The other two lines represent two series of **inhibited reactions**. Label which line represents the experiments that utilized a *competitive inhibitor*, and label which line represents the experiments that utilized a *non-competitive inhibitor*.

### Graph Explanation:

- **Axes**: 
  - The horizontal axis represents "Substrate concentration".
  - The vertical axis represents "Reaction Rate".

- **Lines**: 
  - **Line A**: Represents uninhibited reactions, showing a steady increase in reaction rate with increasing substrate concentration until it plateaus.
  - The two other lines (not specifically labeled here) represent reactions with inhibitors:
     - One line shows a rise in reaction rate similar to Line A, but reaches a plateau sooner and at a lower rate, indicating a *competitive inhibitor*.
     - The other line shows a lower reaction rate at all substrate concentrations, maintaining a flat rate, indicating a *non-competitive inhibitor*.

Expert Solution
Step 1

If we wanted to show that the effects of these inhibitors showing on the  graph like the one above, we could be  repeat the  our whole experiment in the  two more times, once with the  certain amount of the competitive inhibitor added to the each test reaction, and once with the  a certain amount of the noncompetitive inhibitor added instead. We would be  get results as follows and showing on the graph.
