Area B of the graph shows the activation energy required if an enzyme was not present
Explanation:
Reactions with high activation energy cannot occur spontaneously. Enzymes are responsible for lowering this activation energy and enabling reactions to occur at a faster pace than natural. An example is carbonic anhydrase enzyme that enables increased rates of carbon dioxide dissolving in and out of blood plasma.
Enzymes distort the bond of reactants such that they become unstable ( this raises the reactants Gibbs free energy). The bonds therefore break and rearrange to form the products of lower and stable energy states.
