AN enzyme brings about

A

decrease in reaction time

B

increase in reaction time

C

increase in activation energy

D

reduction in activation energy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Enzymes act by reducing the arnount of activation energy. The binding energy is the source of energy used by enzyme to lower the activation energy of reaction. Activation energy is the minimum energy required from outside to overcome the energy barrier of reactants. Enzymes lower energy of activation by two ways-bringing reactants molecules together, and developing strain in bonds of reactants.
