AN enzyme brings aboutA. decrease in reaction timeB. increase in reaction timeC. increase in activation energyD. reduction in activation energy |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D Enzymes act by reducing the arnount of activation energy. The binding energy is the source of energy used by enzyme to lower the activation energy of reaction. Activation energy is the minimum energy required from outside to overcome the energy barrier of reactants. Enzymes lower energy of activation by two ways-bringing reactants molecules together, and developing strain in bonds of reactants. |
