Assertion : Enzymes lower the activation energy.
Reason : A substrate molecule can be acted upon by a particular enzyme.

A

If both the asseration and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

B

If both the assertion and rreason are true but the reason not a correct explanation of the assertion

C

If the assertion is true but the reason is false

D

If the assertion is false but reason is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) Activation energy is an external supply of energy which is needed for the initiation of the chemical reaction. Activation energy required for such a large number of reactions cannot be provided by living systems. Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a reaction Enzymes are generally specific for their substrates.
