When an enzyme is saturated the amount of substrate added no longer as an effect on the rate of the reaction.
It decreases the amount of energy needed for the reaction.
The reaction will speed up.
Without an enzyme, the activation energy needed to start a reaction is much greater. An enzyme is a catalyst, which decreases the amount of activation energy needed to start a reaction. By doing so, it decreases the amount of time the chemical reaction takes place.

As the substrate concentration increases so does the reaction rate because there is more substrate for the enzyme react with.

Yes, Vmax has a linear relationship with the amount of enzyme. This in turn deceases the Km of the reaction.
The reaction will speed up.

A biological catalyst is an enzyme. An enzyme lowers the amount of activiation energy in order for a reaction to occur, they are also reusable.
Based on Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics, the initial rate of reaction, vi, is dependent on maximum rate Vmax, substrate concentration [S], and the enzyme's Michaelis constant Km, which represents the the tendency of the substrate/enzyme complex to dissociate. The dependence on enzyme concentration is factored into the maximum rate. The equation to describe this is: vi = Vmax([S]/(Km+[S])) Follow the link below for details.
Enzymes lower the amount of Activation Energy needed for a chemical reaction, therefore speeding up the chemical reaction. For an enzyme to do this it needs to be at the correct pH, salinity, and temperature otherwise the enzyme will not be able to work. When an enzyme is in a pH that is not suitable, the enzyme's shape and structure alter and make it unable to speed up a reaction.
