Question

Which of these statements about enzymes is true?

a.) enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by decreasing the gibbs free energy change of the reaction.
b.) enzymes decrease the rate of a reaction by increasing the gibbs free energy change of the reaction.
c.) enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction.
d.) enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction and the gibbs free energy change of the reaction.
e.) enzymes do not change the rate of a reaction?

Answer 1

enzymes are organic catalysts
and catalysts generally increase rate of reaction by lowering activation energy
C is the answer
