Compared to an uncatalyzed reaction, an enzyme-catalyzed reaction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. This means that the reaction occurs at a faster rate than under normal conditions, without the need for increased temperature or energy. Enzymes do not change the amount of substrate needed or produce different products, so B and E are incorrect. C and D are also incorrect, as enzymes do not require more energy and actually function best at specific temperatures.
