Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium arrow (↔) and the stoichiometry of the reaction are the same in both enzyme-catalyzed and noncatalyzed reactions. The presence or absence of an enzyme may affect the rate of the reaction, but not the actual reactants or products. Choices A, B, C, and E show various factors that could be influenced by the presence of an enzyme, such as activation energy, reaction rate, and energy of transition state.
