Science

Which 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.
