  • question_answer
    Assertion : Enzymes lower the activation energy. Reason : A substrate molecule can be acted upon by a particular enzyme.

    A) If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

    B) If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion 

    C) If the assertion is true but the reason is false

    D) If both the assertion and reason are false

    E) If the assertion is false but reason is true

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Activation energy is an external supply of energy which is needed for the initiation of the chemical reaction. Activation energy required for such a large number of reactions cannot be provided by living systems. Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a reaction. Enzymes are generally specific for their substrates.
