Which of the following statements is false in the context of enzyme?

Question

Which of the following statements is false in the context of enzyme? (A) Temperature affects their functioning (B) pH affects their functioning (C) They always increase activation energy (D) Their reactions are specific

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Activation energy is the excess of energy over the average energy that the reactant molecule must acquire for reaction to occur.
So, in presence of enzyme, activation energy decreases because catalyst provides a new- reaction path with a lower energy barrier.
