A reaction in living cells can be catalysed by enzyme M or enzyme N. Scientists find that some collisions result in a reaction when enzyme N is present but do not result in a reaction at the same collision energy when enzyme M is present.
What does this show?
Enzyme N makes the reacting particles collide more often than enzyme M
Enzyme N provides a pathway with a lower activation energy than enzyme M
Enzyme N makes the overall energy change larger than enzyme M
Enzyme N increases the kinetic energy of the particles more than enzyme M
