← ScienceWhich outcome accelerates decomposition when specific polypeptides act as catalysts?
A)Lower activation energy of reaction✓
B)Shifting equilibrium to reactants
C)Increasing substrate binding affinity
D)Decreasing binding site specificity
💡 Explanation
Lowering the activation energy greatly increases the reaction rate. Enzymes achieve this because they provide an alternative reaction pathway with a lower energy barrier; therefore, reactions occur faster rather than changes in equilibrium constant.
