JEE · NEET Previous Year Question

$How enzymes increases the rate of reactions$

Topic: NEET PYQ

Answer: A. Full step-by-step solution below.

A $by lowering activation energy$
B $by increasing activation energy$
C $by changing equilibrium constant$
D $by forming enzyme substrate complex.$

Correct answer: A

Solution

(a) Enzymes act like catalyst in biochemical reactions. Presence of an enzyme increases the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reactant.
