The rate of the reaction in an enzyme-substrate reaction depends on both substrate and enzyme concentrations. This is because the enzyme has a limited capacity to bind with the substrate, and as the concentration of substrate increases, the rate of the reaction also increases up to a certain point where it becomes saturated. Similarly, increasing the concentration of enzymes increases the rate of reaction until the substrate concentration becomes limiting. Therefore, both substrate and enzyme concentrations are important factors that affect the rate of the reaction.
