In the figure above, we can see that there are differences between the rates of chemical reactions
with (red), and without (blue) the assistance of enzymes. While the rate of catalysis increases
linearly with the addition of more substrate for the non-enzymatic reaction, we see that there is a
limit to the speed of the reaction when an enzyme is involved. Briefly describe the factors that
contribute to the limited speed of the enzyme.
