  • Question
  • Which of the following statements is true for enzymatically catalyzed reaction?


  • Options
  • A. The activation energy of the reaction is lowered so that a larger proportion of the substrate qualifies to overcome it
  • B. Additional substrate molecules are energized to overcome the activation energy of the reaction
  • C. The activation energy of the reaction is increased, thus decreasing the likelihood that any substrate molecules will overcome it
  • D. The activation energy of the reaction is lowered so that a fewer substrate molecules can overcome it

  • Correct Answer
  • The activation energy of the reaction is lowered so that a larger proportion of the substrate qualifies to overcome it
