The following reaction occurs within eukaryotic cells: 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2
1) State which organelle this reaction occurs in.
2) Indicate if this reaction is endergonic or exergonic.
3) Specify if this reaction is anabolic or catabolic.
4) Identify which enzyme catalyzes this reaction.
5) Provide a biological and/or chemical definition for: transition state
6) Draw an energy diagram for this reaction, showing the reaction pathways that would occur both with and without the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction.
Label on the energy diagram:
-Reactants
-Products
-The position of all transition states
-The relative (non-numerical) levels of activation energy required with and without the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction
-The net energy released in the reaction both with the enzyme and without the enzyme
7) Plants lacking this enzyme grow slowly and are often light green or white in color. Provide explanations with support for both these plants' slow growth rates and light-green/white appearance.
