Enzymes work by:
A) providing an alternate reaction pathway
B) increasing the spontaneity (ΔG) of the reaction
C) lowering the activation energy of the reaction
D) altering the concentration of the reactants to achieve a favorable ΔG
E) proceeding in only one direction, from reactants to products

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction, making it easier for the reaction to occur. This allows the reaction to proceed more quickly and with less energy input.
