Question

What effort do enzymes have on the activation energy of exergonic and endergonic reactions

Activation Energy Of Exergonic Reactions:

A. increase
B. Decrease
C. Increase
D. Decrease

Activation Energy Of Endergonic Reactions:

A. Increase
B. Decrease
C. Decrease
D. Increase

Answer 1

Answer:

Enzymes 'reduces the activation energy' of both Exergonic and Endergonic Reaction by acting as a catalyst.

Explanation:

• For example, in the case of 'carbonic anhydrase', enzymes act rapidly causing the chemicals to 'react 107 times faster' than they would normally.

• Enzymes are substrate specific meaning an enzyme working on one substance may not work on another.

• Function of the enzyme is identified by its 'shape of the protein' and arrangement of these molecules produces an area called activation site.
