← ScienceWhich consequence results when thermal energy input reduces the activation energy barrier in enzyme catalysis?
A)The reaction equilibrium shifts unfavorably
B)Substrate denaturation prematurely halts reaction
C)The forward reaction proceeds faster✓
D)The enzyme active site becomes irreversibly saturated
💡 Explanation
Increased temperature provides reactants with sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy barrier via Arrhenius equation, therefore speeding up the reaction, rather than shifting equilibrium. Enzyme saturation depends on substrate directly, not on input energy.
