Enzymes catalyze reactions by
A) speeding up binding of substrate
B) Speeding up dissociation of product
C) Lowering the activation energy
D) Increasing the energy available for the reaction
E) Changing the equilibrium constant for the reaction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzymes catalyze reactions primarily by lowering the activation energy, which increases the rate of the reaction without altering the equilibrium constant or the energy available for the reaction.
