- this one represents an endothermic reaction. Things are similar: the flat line on the left (beginning of the reaction) is the total energy possessed by the reactant molecules; once again, kJ stands for energy in kiloJoules, thousands of Joules. The flat line on the right (reaction complete) is the total energy of the products. Since an endothermic reaction has a net absorption of energy (taking this extra energy from the surroundings), the products have higher energy than the reactants. Question: the energy of the reactant molecules is kJ.

Enzymes will lower the activation energy barrier for reaction. Enzymes will specifically recognize their substrates. Appropriate substrates will bind to the enzyme to form a Michaelis complex. Enzymes have an "active site" where appropriate substrates will be bound. Two of the above cannot be explained by the Fischer "Lock and Key" Hypothesis.arrow_forwardConsider a reaction in which reactants X and Y combine to form the product Z.
