Question Detail
Question
_______ enhances the rate of reaction
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Enzymes are biological catalysts, almost always proteins, that significantly increase the rate of chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. They lower the activation energy required for a reaction to occur. While cofactors assist enzymes and some proteins have structural roles, enzymes are the primary agents for enhancing reaction rates.
Hint
Think of biological catalysts that speed up reactions in cells.
