Enzymes increase reaction rates by______________?
Correct answer: C. Decreasing the energy of activation
- A. Altering the free energy of the action
- B. Inhibiting the backward reaction
- C. Decreasing the energy of activation
- D. Enhancing the forward reaction
Explanation
Enzymes accelerate reactions by lowering the activation energy required to reach the transition state. They do not alter the overall free-energy change or shift the reaction equilibrium.
