Question

The function of an enzyme is toA)  provide the energy for metabolic reactions.B)  increase the rate of a metabolic reaction.C)  change the direction of metabolic reactions.D)  act as a buffer in metabolic reactions.E)  raise the energy of activation for a reaction.

Breeann Garver · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a metabolic reaction, by lowering the energy of activation required for the reaction to occur. This allows the reaction to occur at a faster rate than it would without the enzyme present.

The function of an enzyme is to

A) provide the energy for metabolic reactions.
B) increase the rate of a metabolic reaction.
C) change the direction of metabolic reactions.
D) act as a buffer in metabolic reactions.
