NEET Zoology (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 11

Consider a graph where the y-axis represents potential energy and the x-axis represents the progression of reaction states through a transition state. Which of the following statements best describes the energy difference between the substrate (S) and product (P) in an exothermic reaction?

Question diagram
A

The product (P) is at a lower energy level than the substrate (S).

B

The substrate (S) is at a lower energy level than the product (P).

C

The substrate (S) and product (P) are at the same energy level.

D

The energy levels of substrate (S) and product (P) cannot be determined.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In an exothermic reaction, the product (P) is at a lower energy level than the substrate (S), indicating that energy is released as the reaction progresses.
