Concerning enzymatic reactions how different, are the graphic curve of the variation of the speed of a reaction as function of substrate concentration and the curve of variation of the speed of a reaction as function of temperature?

Answer:

The curve of variation of speed of the enzymatic reaction as function of growing substrate concentration is a growing curves until the point where it stabilizes due to the saturation of the activation centers of the enzymes.

The curve of variation of speed of the enzymatic reaction as function of growing temperature has a crescent portion, reaches a peak (the optimum temperature) then it decreases, and reaches zero in the point of inactivity of the enzymes by denaturation.
