Enzymes act by
A) lowering the overall change in free energy of a reaction.
B) decreasing the distance that reactants must diffuse to find one another.
C) increasing activation energy.
D) decreasing activation energy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, thereby increasing the reaction rate. This is achieved by stabilizing the transition state of the reaction, making it easier for the reactants to reach the necessary energy level for the reaction to proceed.
