Enzyme is specific
A different enzyme controls each step of a metabolic pathway. This ensures that each chemical reaction in the pathway is tightly regulated and allows for efficient energy usage and production.
Reaction catalyzed by enzyme B > reaction catalyzed by enzyme A > uncatalyzed reaction. Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, making them faster than uncatalyzed reactions. The specificity and efficiency of enzyme-substrate interactions determine the rate of reaction catalyzed by different enzymes.
An enzyme speeds up your reaction in your body.
The enzyme graph shows that the reaction rate of the catalyzed reaction is faster compared to the uncatalyzed reaction. This indicates that the enzyme is effectively speeding up the reaction process.
A specific enzyme is an enzyme that only changes the speed of ONE reaction. (It only acts on one particular substance that happens to be compatible with that enzyme) i.e. if enzyme A is specific to reaction A, it will change the speed of reaction A. However it will have no effect on any other reaction like reaction B or C.
The main thing that an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction, is to lower the energy of reaction.

enzyme works as a catalyst before and after the reaction it is preserved
The enzyme will be re-used in another reaction.
Enzyme concentration has no effect on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction after reaching a saturation point where all enzyme active sites are occupied. At this point, adding more enzyme will not increase the reaction rate further.
The enzyme activity curve shows that as enzyme concentration increases, the reaction rate also increases. However, there is a point where adding more enzyme does not further increase the reaction rate, indicating that there is a limit to the effect of enzyme concentration on reaction rate.
