Which of the following is an autocatalytic reaction ?
Correct answer: A. Microbial fermentation reaction
- A. Microbial fermentation reaction
- B. Photochemical reactions
- C. Enzyme fermentation reaction
- D. Ammonia synthesis reaction
Explanation
Microbial fermentation is commonly treated as autocatalytic because the microorganisms or biomass formed during the reaction promote further substrate consumption. The other listed reactions are not the standard example here.
