The enzyme aconitase catalyzes the conversion of citrate to isocitate (which means the enzyme speeds up the chemical reaction of citrate to isocitrate). You have a solution of citrate, and you add aconitase (the enzyme) to it. You have a way to measure the concentrations of citrate and isocitrate at various times. On the graph below, plot the citrate concentration as function of time, and plot the isocitrate concentration as a function of time. I was given a blank graph with the x axis of time and y-axis which was concentration.
What I was thinking was isocitrate would have a linear line going up or a line going up but bends a slight bit since I think the substance might have a maximum amount of concentration. And there would be another line for citrate going down. but I'm not sure how to draw it without it looking weird. I'm also not sure if my thinking is right. Please help me.
