To explain: How the Michaelis-Menten equation from the given substrate concentrations would be simple.
Introduction: Enzymes are the protein molecules that catalyze the rate of reaction at different substrate concentration. Initially, the rate of the reaction increases in a linear way at low substrate concentration. With the increase in substrate concentration, the rate of reaction increases, but up to a certain point. At this point, the rate displays saturation, where adding more substrate no longer increase the reaction rate. In the reaction, the substrate molecules interact with the active site of the enzyme to form a new product.
