3. What letter represents the activation energy of the reaction with no enzyme?
4. Does this reaction release energy or absorb energy?
5. Draw a chemical reaction curve of the opposite process (draw a reaction that releases
energy if the above absorbs or draw a reaction that absorbs energy if the above is
releases).
