Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Enzymes make reactions go ____ by ____ the activation energy of the reaction.
A
faster:lowering
B
slower:lowering
C
slower:raising
D
faster:raising
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes (and other catalysts) act by reducing the activation energy, thereby increasing the rate of reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lowering the Activation Energy Enzymes (blue line) change the formation of the transition state by lowering the energy and stabilizing the highly energetic unstable transition state. This allows the reaction rate to increase, but also the back reaction occurs more easily.

Detailed explanation-4: -Assertion :Enzymes lower the activation energy of the reactant molecule to make its transition into product easier. Reason: Enzymes are highly substrate specific. Q. Assertion :Enzymes lower down the activation energy of the reactant molecule to make its transition into product easier.
