The efficiency of enzyme catalysis is due to its capacity to

A

a) form a strong enzyme-substrate complex

B

b) change the shape of the substrate

C

c) lower the activation energy of the reaction

D

d) form a colloidal solution in water

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The efficiency of enzyme catalysis is due to its capacity to lower the activation energy of the reaction. Enzymes are bio-catalysis which increase the rate of reaction without being consumed in the reaction. In case of equilibrium reactions, catalyst help in attaining the equilibrium quickly without disturbing the equilibrium.
