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

Assertion- Enzymes lowers the activation energy of the reaction. Reason- Higher activation energy helps the molecules to react with greater rate.

How many of the following statements are correct regarding properties of enzyme ? (i) It lowers down the activation energy of the reaction . (ii) An active site of the enzyme is the pocket into which the substate fits . (iii) The catalytic structure of most of the enzyme is globular and primary . (iv) Carbonic anhydrase enzyme is considered as the fastest enzyme.

Enzymes eventually bring_____the activation energy barrier making the transitio of 'S' to 'P' more easy.

Assterion : Each enzyme has a substrate binding site in its molecule which forms highly reactive enzyme-substrate complex. Reason : The enzyme-substrate complex is long-lived and dissociates into its product and unchanged enzyme.
