Enzymes have what effect on the end-product?

Correct answer: C. No effect

  • A. They alter the product
  • B. The nature of the product is completely changed
  • C. No effect
  • D. The end product is not obtained

Explanation

Enzymes are biocatalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy. Due to this, the products are formed at a faster rate. But enzymes only affect the rate of reaction without being used up, they can't alter the structure of the final product. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because enzymes function as catalysts only in biochemical reactions.

About Enzymes

Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
