Expert Solution
Step 1

Rate of enzyme reaction is measured by the rate at which substrate is used up or product is formed. Generally, rate of reaction is increased due to increase in enzyme or substrate concentration, temperature etc. However, presence of inhibitors can effect the enzyme reaction rate.
