The mechanism of enzyme activation is referred to as?
Correct answer: B. Catalysis
- A. Activation Energy
- B. Catalysis
- C. Enzyme Specificity
- D. Denaturation
Explanation
The mechanism of enzyme activation is referred to as "enzyme catalysis" or simply "catalysis." Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for those reactions to occur. This allows reactions to proceed at a faster rate or under milder conditions than they would without the enzyme. Enzymes achieve this by providing an active site where reactants (substrates) can bind and undergo chemical transformations, making the reaction more efficient.

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.
