nmdcat.online July 11, 2026

In an uninhibited, reversible, enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the sole function of the enzyme is to

A. Shift the point of equilibrium towards the products
B. Decrease the standard free energy change (ΔG°)
C. Reduce the magnitude of the activation energy
D. Increase the concentration of substrate molecules

📝 Explanation

An enzyme accelerates both forward and reverse reactions equally by lowering activation energy without changing the equilibrium point or free energy.

📖 Additional Information

  • Shift the point of equilibrium towards the products
  • Decrease the standard free energy change (ΔG°)
  • Reduce the magnitude of the activation energy
  • Increase the concentration of substrate molecules
