Question

Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below.

The above figures show the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of various concentration of profilin (Pfn).  In the top figure, flourescence intensity is a measure of total actin that has been polymerized, and this is plotted versus time in seconds.  The shade of blue of the lines in the top figure correspond to the shaded blue bars representing various concentrations of profilin in the lower figure. The lower graph shows the initial rates of polymerization of actin plotted again concentration. Which of the following is true:
