How Does an Enzyme Affect the Activation Energy of a Reaction

question 239

Multiple Choice

How does an enzyme affect the activation energy of a reaction?

• A) It raises the energy of activation,which makes the reaction it regulates less likely to occur and decreases the chemical product yield.
• B) It lowers the energy of activation,which makes the reaction it catalyzes less likely to occur and slows down the production of the chemical product.
• C) It decreases the energy of activation,which results in more energy being needed to initiate the reaction and increases the yield of the chemical product.
• D) It increases the energy of activation,which decreases the likelihood of undesirable side reactions and increases the yield of desired products.
• E) It reduces the energy of activation,which makes the reaction it facilitates more likely to occur and speeds up the production of the chemical product.
