Enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by ______.
A) increasing the temperature of the substrates
B) contributing electrons to the reaction
C) decreasing activation energy
D) changing the pH of the substrates

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzymes decrease activation energy by stabilizing the transition state, making it easier for the reaction to occur. This increases the rate of the reaction without altering the temperature, pH, or electron distribution.
