The right graph illustrates a regulation because it shows that as the concentration of the substrate increases, the rate of the reaction initially increases but then levels off and reaches a maximum rate. This is indicative of enzyme saturation and suggests that the reaction is being regulated. The left graph does not show this pattern and therefore does not illustrate regulation.
