Enzyme activity and rate of reaction?

[iki08]

can someone explain to me the relationship between enzyme activity and rate of reaction?

How are you distinguishing "enzyme activity" from the rate of the reaction? Rate of conversion of substrate is how enzyme activity is typically measured.

that means if the activity of enzyme increase the rate of reaction also increase?

Yes, up until the other necessary substrates are diminished. Of course some reactions can occur without enzymes however enzymes would speed this up
