What is the effect of an enzyme in an enzyme-catalysed reaction?
Options
- Adecreases the activation energy and decreases the energy yield
- Bdecreases the activation energy and has no effect on the energy yield
- Cincreases the activation energy and increases the energy yield
- Dincreases the energy yield and decreases the activation energy
Correct answer
B. decreases the activation energy and has no effect on the energy yield
Step-by-step solution
An enzyme is a catalyst that reduces the activation energy for a reaction and helps in increasing the concentration of product without any change in energy yield.
