The answer is a Gland.

Secretion being a product of gland if it's useful to the body and an excretion being a product of the gland if it's a waste product. Glands may be exocrine or endocrine; endocrine glands lose contact with surface; have no ducts; secretes products directly into the blood due to having a high density of blood capillaries while exocrine glands secretes to the body surface or lumen; and maintain contact with surface via a duct.

In the graph of an enzymatic reaction explain why the line begins as a straight line.
lianna [129]
Generally, the graph line will begin as a straight line when the substrate concentration is low. At very low substrate concentrations, the rate is proportional to the substrate concentration. As substrate concentration increases, it affects the enzymatic reaction, so the rate will change and the line will change.
