Consider the reaction. S⥫⥬?2?1P What effects are produced by an enzyme on the general reaction? The rate constant for the reverse reaction (?2) increases. Δ? for the reaction increases. The activation energy for the reaction is lowered. The concentration of the reactants is decreased. The formation of the transition state is promoted.

Josh Richardson · Answer 1

The correct answer is the activation energy for the reaction is lowered.

Explanation:

Enzymes are homogenous, thermolabile, biological catalyst which speed the rate of a reaction but itself remains unchanged throughout the reaction.

Enzyme basically reduces the energy barrier also called activation energy and interact with the transition state of the reaction in a complementary fashion.

Enzymes does not have any effect in the equilibrium of the reaction.
