Description: This figure depicts an exergonic reaction. The activation energy is needed for molecules to achieve a transition state. One way that enzymes lower the activation energy is by straining the reactants so that less energy is required to attain the transition state. A second way is by binding two reactants so they are close to each other and in a favourable orientation.
