All of the following are factors in enzyme-catalyzed reactions that work alone or in combination to lower the activation energy EXCEPT
A)helping substrates get together.
B)orienting substrates in positions favoring reaction.
C)using ATP as an energy source.
D)shutting out water molecules.
E)inducing a fit between enzyme and substrate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While enzymes do use energy from ATP during their catalytic cycle, it is not a factor that specifically works to lower the activation energy of the reaction. A, B, D, and E are all factors that contribute to lowering the activation energy by facilitating the necessary interactions between the enzyme and substrate.
