The activation energy stands as a sort of a barrier between reactants and products and is shown by the letter E.
<h3>What is activation energy?</h3>
The activation energy is the energy that must be supplied in order for a reaction to proceed forward.
The activation energy stands as a sort of a barrier between reactants and products and is shown by the letter E in a diagram of an enzyme controlled reaction.
Enzymes tend to decrease the activation energy by providing an alternative path for the reaction.
