Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction of chymotrypsin with its substrate shows a biphasic pattern.

There an initial burst phase at the beginning of the reaction, followed by a steady-state phase that follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics.

For example, a kinetic plot of the reaction with a coloured substrate looks like the diagram below.
