Question

How does an enzyme influence a biological reaction?

It decreases the kinetic energy of reactants, enabling them to undergo chemical change more
easily.
It decreases the activation energy necessary to initiate the chemical change.
It weakens the bonds of reactants, making them easier to break.
It increases the kinetic energy of reactants, thereby increasing their tendency to collide.
It increases the net energy difference between reactants and products.

Answer 1

Answer: B. It decreases activation energy.

Explanation: A regular reaction has high activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Enzymes act as catalysts that decrease activation energy and speed up the reaction.
