Practise IB Biology HL 8.1.10 by interpreting energy profiles and explaining how enzyme binding lowers the activation barrier.
(a) The image shows a cell in a section of an onion root tip seen under a light microscope.

The graph shows energy levels throughout an uncatalysed reaction. Draw a curve to show how the action of an enzyme would affect this reaction.
