Can you label 106 for me and explain. I am thinking that the one with the higher activation energy is the rate determining step because it looks like it's taking more time therefore is the slowest. I would also think that both homes represent activation complex and so we are a bit confused This is not a graded question as it is a practice question . I am 60 years old and helping my son prepare for the AP exam in a few months. We do questions at the back of the textbook by Zumdahl and Zumdahl
Catalysis and Enzymatic Reactions
Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the product. The enzymatic reaction is the reaction that is catalyzed via enzymes.
Lock And Key Model
The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique distinct key only can have the access to open a particular lock resembles how the specific substrate can only fit into the particular active site of the enzyme. This is significant in understanding the intermolecular interaction between proteins and plays a vital role in drug interaction.

The given reaction energy profile diagram belongs to a two-step reaction i.e., it is a combination of two elementary steps.
The rate determining step is the slowest step which possesses the highest activation barrier.
Energy change is positive when the products are at higher energy than the reactants and vice-versa.
