Question

1. enzymes speed up the reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to start. compare the activation energy with and without the enzyme. identify the part of the graph that shows: a) _ overall energy released during reaction b) _ activation energy with enzyme c) ___ activation energy without enzyme

Explanation:

Step1: Overall energy release is difference in energy of reactants and products.

Between energy level of reactants and products on graph.

Step2: Activation energy with enzyme is lower peak.

Lower hump on graph.

Step3: Activation energy without enzyme is higher peak.

Higher hump on graph.

Answer:

a) Difference between energy of reactants and products
b) Lower hump on graph
c) Higher hump on graph
