Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Reactants

The reactants are the starting materials in a chemical reaction. In the graph, this is represented by the initial energy level before any reaction progress. Therefore, label A represents the reactants.

Step 2: Identify the Activation Energy Without Enzyme

Activation energy is the energy required to start a reaction. Without an enzyme, this energy is higher. In the graph, this is represented by the peak of the higher curve. Therefore, label B represents the activation energy without an enzyme.

Step 3: Identify the Activation Energy With Enzyme

Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a reaction. In the graph, this is represented by the peak of the lower curve. Therefore, label C represents the activation energy with an enzyme.
