Question

The function of an enzyme is to

A Slow down chemical reactions
B.Speed up chemical reactions
C.Stop chemical reactions

Answer 1

C:speedup chemical reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

Enyme's main function is to increase reaction rate by decreasing activation energy.

i.e

Chemical Reaction 1 without enzyme || Chemical Reaction 2 with enzyme

Activation Energy= 9000J Activation Energy= 500J

Reaction Rate=1^-7 Reaction Rate=1^+3

time to reach equillibrium=7h time to reach equillibrium=20min
