Enzymes
A)lower the amount of energy present in the substrate.
B)raise the amount of energy present in the substrate.
C)lower the energy of activation of a reaction by binding to the substrate.
D)raise the energy of activation of a reaction by binding to the substrate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzymes lower the energy of activation of a reaction by binding to the substrate. This lowers the amount of energy needed for the reaction to occur, making it more likely to happen at normal temperatures and pressures.
