Question

Compare these two pictures to the graph above. In which of these situations did they use a catalyst (the left or right)? Why? In which of these two graphs will a reaction actually take place?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The role of enzymes in a chemical reaction is to : Lower the activation energy while increasing the rate of reaction

The graph shown on the left is an uncatalyzed chemical reaction while the graph on the right is a catalyzed chemical reaction.

Catalyzed chemical reactions have lower activation energy and a faster rate of reaction while uncatalyzed chemical reaction has a higher activation energy and a slower reaction rate. because catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy.

Hence we can conclude that The role of enzymes in a chemical reaction is to : Lower the activation energy while increasing the rate of reaction
