Question

the graph below shows the progress of a biochemical reaction. biochemical reaction what effect would an enzyme have on the reaction? an enzyme would increase the amount of energy at point 3. an enzyme would increase the amount of energy needed at point 1. an enzyme would decrease the energy needed to move from point 1 to point 2. an enzyme would cause the amount of energy at point 1 and point 3 to switch places.

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. They lower the activation - energy of a reaction. In the graph, the energy difference between Point 1 (reactants) and Point 2 (transition state) is the activation - energy. An enzyme would reduce this activation - energy.

Answer:

An enzyme would decrease the energy needed to move from Point 1 to Point 2.
