How do enzymes function?
|
|
They increase the activation energy
|
|
|
They increase the reaction rate
|
|
|
They decrease the reaction rate
|
|
|
They decrease the substrate binding complex
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes (and other catalysts) act by reducing the activation energy, thereby increasing the rate of reaction. The increased rate is the same in both the forward and reverse directions, since both must pass through the same transition state.
Detailed explanation-2: -Enzymes (and other catalysts) act by reducing the activation energy, which increases the rate of the reaction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy, the lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate.
