What do enzymes to the activation energy for the chemical reactions they catalyse?
- They lower it
- They increase it
- They have no effect on it

Question 16 of 22
16. Question
Which of the following statements is not true?

- All enzymes speed up reactions that already occur
- All enzymes are catalysts
- All enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction
Correct
Incorrect
Question 17 of 22
17. Question
Which of the following best explains why an enzyme can be effective even when present in very low amounts?
- They are not modified during their action and can catalyse many rounds of a reaction
- Each enzyme contains many active sites and can act on multiple substrates at a time
- They have a high kinetic energy and can move rapidly to access substrate quickly
- They bind substrate very tightly and so do not accidentally let go before they can complete a reaction
Correct
Incorrect
