When discussing the Arrhenius equation and chemical / enzyme kinetics, which of the following statements is incorrect? A. A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction B. A high activation energy signifies that the rate constant depends strongly on temperature C. A negative activation energy indicates that the rate increases as the temperature is raised D. The activation energy, the parameter Ea in the Arrhenius equation, is the minimum energy that a molecular encounter needs in order to result in a reaction E. If a reaction has zero activation energy, its rate is independent of temperature
